Publicaiions 



The Department was honoured at the 1962 annual meeting of the American 

 Association for Conservation Information by the award of two First prizes and 

 one Third prize for Lands and Forests publications in a competition including 220 

 entries from 46 States and six Provinces. 



First Place awards were won by Meet the Wildlife of Ontario's Outdoors, 

 a booklet with colour drawings for school children, and Highlights, 1961 , the 

 condensed version of the Annual Report of the Minister, clarified with charts 

 and drawings for public distribution. The Third Place award went to Mammals 

 of Ontario, a cover for text books, approved for distribution to schools by the 

 Department of Education. 



Department booklets, leaflets and folders cover many aspects of Lands and 

 Forests operations, providing information of interest to the general public and to 

 special groups. As new material becomes available, new titles are issued and 

 old ones are revised to meet the ever-growing demand for information. 



Annual Report of the Minister (Part I) presents a detailed account of 

 Department operations during the preceding fiscal year as prepared by separate 

 branches and sections. A Statistical Reference of Lands and Forests Administration 

 is a pocket-size book which gives a record of the administration across the past 

 few decades.
