scientific and industrial groups in fields touching on the 

 Department's administration. The French translation of the 

 news release had a weekly circulation of 155. 

 News of more than normal urgency was supplied directly 

 to important news outlets by press releases. 

 Special appeals were prepared for news media in season to 

 enlist public support of Lands and Forests programs, prin- 

 cipally in forest fire prevention and hunter safety. 

 Editorial services for outside agencies increased the con- 

 centration of conservation messages. Articles and back- 

 ground material were prepared on request. Speech material 

 was prepared for Department personnel invited to address 

 public meetings.

 "RENEWING NATURE'S WEALTH" 



To place important facts on record before they were lost 

 to knowledge or contemporary interpretation, the Depart- 

 ment had long planned to publish a history of natural 

 resources and their administration from the earliest days. 

 Preliminary research work was done by Branches under the 

 direction of the History Committee formed in 1963. The 

 committee was guided by the advice of Professor J. M. S. 

 Careless, Head of the History Department, University of 

 Toronto. 



Early in 1965, the Department contracted for the services 

 of the author, Richard S. Lambert, M.A. (Wadham College, 

 Oxford), the winner of the Governor-General's medal for 

 juvenile literature in 1949 and the author of 30 books in- 

 cluding five history texts approved for use in Ontario 

 schools. Mr. Lambert shared the authorship with Paul 

 Pross, M.A. (Queen's), Ph.D. (Toronto). Research work was 

 assisted by a team of graduate history students from the 

 University of Toronto. 



"Renewing Nature's Wealth, A Centennial History of the 

 Public Management of Lands, Forests and Wildlife in 

 Ontario" was presented to the public in June, 1967, by Prime 

 Minister John P. Robarts. 



The 648-page volume was printed by Hunter Rose Company 

 Limited, Toronto. The bulk of the 10,000 press run was dis- 

 tributed through book stores at $9.50 per copy by Copp Clark 

 Publishing Company, Toronto.
