We deliver on our mission by managing regulatory programs that maintain air, water, and soil quality standards while assisting businesses and communities in areas ranging from recreation to waste management. We manage the state park system and programs to inventory, interpret, and protect Tennessee's rich natural, historical, and archaeological heritage. From its beginning in 1937, Tennessee State Parks were established to protect and preserve Tennessee's unique natural, cultural, and historic resources. The public interest has also been served by a variety of benefits for citizens and communities produced by our state park system, promoting stronger communities and healthier citizens across the state through diverse resource-based recreation while conserving the natural environment for today and tomorrow - preserving authentic Tennessee places and spaces for future generations to enjoy.
