Dept Mission/Definition
The mission of the Natural Resources Division (NRD) is to manage, develop, and protect the
natural resources of the Grand Ronde Tribes, such as timber, non-merchantable young
stands of trees, fish, wildlife, recreation, minerals, air, streams, roads, and minor forest
products. The NRD strives to manage the Tribes’ resources in a unique, creative, and
efficient manner, taking care to meet our mandates while balancing the importance of
non-revenue- producing elements of the reservation.
