Summary 



1. People are interested primarily in local areas and local conser- 

 vation matters . 



2. Considerable work is carried on with local schools and youth 

 groups. The best approach is through personal appearances, armed with an 

 interesting and well-illustrated tali. 



3- A well-trained information worker Is needed in the regions. 



h. Lists of available publications and films are needed in the field 

 stations . 



5. Illustrated publications are needed: (l) explaining activities 

 of the Service and (2) geared to age groups. 



6. More than half of the stations (53 percent) reported few or no 

 requests for information on the Service's activities. This may indicate 

 an unawareness of availability of services rather than indifference on the 

 part of the public. It points up the need for making known to the local 

 people the services that are available at the field stations.
