Buy Your Park Pass Online

Before you head to a state park this summer, buy your park pass online – it's fast and easy.

Know Before You Burn

Burning permits are required by the DNR in many parts of the state. Getting one is free and easy.

Reduce Food Waste at Home

Making small changes to reduce food waste at home can help out our state's landfills.

Hitting The Trails?

Grab your trail pass – it's required for all people age 16 or older on certain trails throughout the state.

Don't Forget Your Life Jacket

If you're heading out on the water this summer, remember your life jacket. It could save your life.

Keep Wildlife Wild

A wild animal's best chance of survival is with its mother, so don't move fawns if you see one this spring.
