Learn about the science behind the work of DNREC, and its partners, to protect the environment and public health through displays and hands-on activities.

The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control welcomes Delaware State Fair visitors to DNREC’s climate-controlled building on the fairgrounds at the corner of Holloway Avenue and East Rider Road.

Displays in the DNREC building include a large touch tank, to bring visitors up close to native aquatic life. Outside, a shiny Airstream trailer will feature information on camping and other fun things to do at Delaware’s beautiful state parks.

There will be activities on the DNREC porch and visitors are invited to stroll across the street to check out a variety of DNREC Natural Resources Police and Emergency Response equipment.

Admission to DNREC programs is free. The building is open from noon to 8 p.m. during the 10 days of the fair.
