The strength behind our strength Natural resources remain a driving force in Wisconsin's economy and culture. You, your family and friends, and your community are the primary stewards of Wisconsin's natural riches. The DNR lends a hand by offering expertise and assistance, preventing and addressing conflicts in the use of Wisconsin's natural resources, and making sure people understand and comply with laws designed to protect resources from misuse. Except for a portion of southwestern Wisconsin, with its steep, wooded hills, narrow valleys and rushing creeks, the state's landscape has been shaped by glaciers.
