The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is the code department[1][2] of the Illinois state government that operates the state parks and state recreation areas, enforces the fishing and game laws of Illinois, regulates Illinois coal mines and other extractive industries, operates the Illinois State Museum system, and oversees scientific research into the soil, water, and mineral resources of the state. In 2017, the Illinois Historic Preservation Division was added to its portfolio. It is headquartered in the state capital of Springfield.

History

[edit]

The former Illinois Department of Conservation was reorganized into the Illinois Department of Natural Resources by executive order in 1995. The reorganization, codified into state law by Public Act 89-50, also added functions of the former Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources and the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals to the agglomerated agency [3]

Organization

[edit]

As of 2009, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources was divided up into 16 offices and bureaus [4]

  • Administration
  • Architecture, Engineering and Grants
  • Compliance, Equal Employment Opportunity and Ethics

  • Law Enforcement
  • Land Management
  • Legal Counsel
  • Legislation
  • Mines & Minerals
  • Public Events, Programs & Promotions
  • Public Services and Education
  • Realty & Environmental Planning
  • Resource Conservation
  • State Museums

In 2017, parts of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, were folded in the IDNR and became the Illinois Historic Preservation Division.
