Organization
At the top of the organization is the director (presently Robert E. Carter, Jr.), who reports directly to the Governor of Indiana. In addition to overseeing the department, the director also serves on an autonomous board known as the Natural Resources Commission, consisting of both government officials and citizen members, which meets at least four times annually to address issues pertaining to the department. The director also has an advisory council at his disposal.
Beneath the director, there are four deputy directors, each of whom is responsible for a team under which many of the department's divisions are organized. Those teams and their divisions are as follows:
- Regulatory Management Team
- Water
- Reclamation
- Entomology & Plant Pathology
- Historic Preservation & Archaeology
- Oil and Gas
- Land Management Team
- State Parks & Reservoirs
- Natural Preserves
- Land Acquisition
- Fish and Wildlife
- Outdoor Recreation
- Forestry
- Engineering
- Administrative Management Team
- Budget and Performance Management
- Accounting
- Human Resources
- MIS
- Purchasing
- Strategic Management & Organizational Excellence
- Legal Team
- Office of Legal Counsel
In addition, there are six departments that don't fall under one of the four teams:
- Legislative Affairs
- Communications
- Law Enforcement
- Natural Resources Foundation
- Indiana Heritage Trust
The agency's official magazine is Outdoor Indiana.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“The newly-formed clothing unions are ready to welcome her; but woman shrinks back from organization, Heaven knows why! It is perhaps because in organization one find the truest freedom, and woman has been a slave too long to know what freedom means.”
—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
