The New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) is a government agency of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. The main office of DNCR is located in Concord.[1]

History[]

New Hampshire's Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) was established via legislative act on July 1, 2017,[1] as the state combined the Department of Cultural Resources with the Division of Parks and Recreation and the Division of Forest and Lands. The two noted divisions had previously been part of the Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED), which was dissolved.[2] Other functions within DRED were placed into the Department of Business and Economic Affairs (DBEA), formed at the same time.[2]

Function[]

DNCR's mission is to "protect, preserve, promote and manage the State’s natural and cultural resources, supporting New Hampshire’s high quality of life and strengthening the experiences of our residents and guests."[3]

DNCR oversees five other state agencies:[1]
