Department of Natural Resources Land Acquisition

April 25, 2025

While stakeholders had generally favorable views of DNR’s process for selecting land, they had concerns about the length of the acquisition process. We found that DNR’s land acquisitions have generally complied with land acquisition process requirements. However, the department has not reported on land acquisitions as required by law. We offer recommendations to both DNR and the Legislature.

Please provide feedback on OLA’s evaluation reports by completing this brief questionnaire.
