Natural Resources Management (NRM)
Purpose: The Natural Resources Management Program (NRM)delivers safe public access to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) lands and waters in a manner that protects all project purposes and mission areas through responsible outdoor recreation, environmental conservation, and land use management while partnering with communities to serve the American people.
Vision: Conserve natural resources and provide public recreation opportunities that contribute to the quality of American life.
NRM comprises two primary missions areas:
1) Recreation: USACE is one of the leading federal providers of outdoor recreation in the nation. Over 400 lake and river projects in 43 states provide a diverse range of recreational opportunities. By providing controlled access and management on USACE lands and water, recreation program managers play a key role in providing safe, high-quality, and accessible public outdoor recreation experiences that serve the needs of present and future generations.-
- 2) Environmental Stewardship: A key mission area that protects, preserves, and restores significant ecological and cultural resources at Civil Works projects nationwide, all while balancing land use activities. These efforts contribute to the quality of American life by managing and conserving natural resources consistent with ecosystem management principles and provide a sustainable environment for future generations.
