Public Relations 



Every Authority has the problem of informing the public as to why the 

 Authority was formed, what its objectives are, and how it proposes to meet these 

 objectives. The Authority must show people why tax dollars from watershed 

 residents are required for conservation expenditures. They must point out the 

 nature of conservation problems and the need for co-operation among a number 

 of governing bodies in organizing a program. Public Relations becomes an 

 important task of every Authority. 



Authorities use all means of publicity and education that are available to 

 them. These include such standard media as radio, television and the press, 

 exhibits, demonstrations, field days, publications and brochures. Authority per- 

 sonnel give frequent talks to public groups. Authorities work closely with local 

 education people in organizing conservation projects in the schools, tree planting 

 days, field trips and so forth. They work with youth organizations such as Scouts 

 and Guides, 4-H clubs and Resource Rangers. 



A notable development in the field of education in conservation has been 

 the establishment of the Albion Hills Conservation School by the Metropolitan
