Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 



divided. Quite an appreciable degree of co-operation in this work of enforcement 

 is provided by members of the Ontario Provincial Police force, local municipal police 

 forces, and by interested sportsmen under the authority of appointments as honorary 

 deputy game wardens. Members of the regular staff of Conservation Officers are 

 expected to carry out their duties in an efficient and effective manner, and to be 

 courteous to those with whom they come into contact in the course of their general 

 work. 



In our efforts to provide a satisfactory and beneficial degree of enforcement 

 it is difficult to estimate the value of the assistance and co-operation which is derived 

 from the extensive campaign of education and publicity provided by the many local 

 organizations interested in the protection and conservation of our fish and game 

 resources. It is perhaps superfluous to reiterate the appreciation which is felt by 

 those in charge of this branch of the administration. 



In addition, it is a branch of the service in which we are fortunate to have 

 associated with us in the work those who perform their duties with the idea that 

 effective service will maintain our natural resources in such a condition that they 

 will in future years provide a measure of enjoyment for our own residents as well 



Trapline management increases the productivity of a trapper's line and assures him of a substantial
