Mission:
The mission of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is to enhance the experience of the estimated 33 million people who annually visit the more than 400 properties under its care and control. DCR is focused on three strategic goals to continue building a dynamic and unified agency while carrying out its mission of protecting, promoting and enhancing our Commonwealth's natural, cultural and recreational resources. The three goals are: maximizing resources by directing agency resources and efforts to provide the greatest value for the public we serve; nurturing partnerships by developing, cultivating and strengthening partnerships; and expanding and improving programming by creating and working with partners to support interactive, appealing programming that engages the public.Governing Laws:
