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)
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
