The state of Georgia is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and resources, and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is responsible for the development and implementation of plans that guide the management and protection of these resources. Georgia Power is also known for its commitment to value, reliability, service, and stewardship. To ensure that cultural activities are managed sustainably in central Georgia's natural areas, a number of stakeholders have come together to develop a plan that meets the demands of the state's diverse and growing population. The Georgia Outdoor Recreation Plan is a state plan that seeks to maintain and improve public outdoor recreation resources.
The Georgia Coastal Management Program promotes the beneficial use of coastal resources, prevents their deterioration, and manages major activities that substantially affect numerous resources. This plan includes information on trends in Georgia and how they may affect historic properties; the mission, vision, and objectives of historic preservation; information on Georgia's historic and archaeological resources; information on how preservation works in Georgia; and on the preservation planning process at the state level. The sustainability mission of the Georgia College campus is to effectively and efficiently manage natural, physical, and financial resources through social, environmental, and economic responsibility. It also seeks to provide leadership and coordination of sustainability initiatives throughout the campus community with education, research, and participation.
Georgia Power has a long-standing partnership with the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation and its community affiliates in order to build sustainable communities. In order to participate in the federal Coastal Zone Management Program, the DNR must submit the Coastal Management Program document (also called the Georgia Coastal Management Plan). Additionally, as described in the federal No Child Left Inside Act, the development of a state environmental literacy plan must be led by the state education agency in cooperation with environmental and natural resource agencies, non-profit associations, and the public. All plans have included a high level of public participation during their development. Georgia Power is investing to increase environmental awareness, improve air and water quality, preserve natural resources, and protect endangered species. The DNR is also working to improve efficiency through better internal coordination and communication; expanding partnerships between the public and private sectors to address critical natural and cultural resource issues; and providing high-quality customer service to citizens of Georgia. By working together with stakeholders from various sectors, it is possible to ensure that cultural activities are managed sustainably in central Georgia's natural areas.
