Illinois Department of Natural Resources
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources
promotes the safe use and enjoyment of the bountiful waters
of Illinois. Our mission is to manage, protect, and sustain
Illinois’s natural and cultural resources; further
the public’s understanding and appreciation of those
resources; and promote the education, science, and public
safety of our natural resources for present and future
generations.
The mission of the Safety Education Section is to provide
hunter, boating, snowmobile, and trapping safety courses
to both children and adults. These courses are primarily
designed to train young people and are mandatory for certain
age groups if they wish to hunt, trap, operate a motorboat or
personal watercraft, or operate a snowmobile in Illinois.
