Part of DNREC's mission is to inform and educate the public on natural, historical, and cultural resources in Delaware, as well as interact with communities and stakeholders to address environmental policies and regulations.

DNREC is full of opportunities to get involved in environmental activities throughout the state. The department is always looking for volunteer help to reach more people, take on large monitoring activities, and maintain Delaware's beautiful habitats.

Part of DNREC's open regulatory development process is to ensure that proposed actions are announced and all interested parties are notified so that people have the opportunity to become involved in the process and have their voices heard.

DNREC offers many learning opportunities through public programming and events which highlight the importance of various natural, historical, and cultural resources in Delaware.
