District Headquarter buildings are the center of district activity. Equipment storage as well as 

 office and meeting space are provided in these efficiently designed structures. 



A three-man team supervises the activities of each district with 

 such additional personnel as is needed to carry out departmental proj- 

 ects. These three men represent the three major activities of the 

 dpartment — game management, enforcement, and fisheries management. 

 Each man has a separate area of direct responsibility, but all programs 

 are coordinated. One of the primary objectives of the district organ- 

 ization is to initiate closer teamwork between all department divisions. 

 This automatically results in an increase in effective fish and game 

 management. 



Headquarters buildings provide the nucleus for district activities. 

 Offices and a meeting room are maintained for supervisory personnel, 

 w hile space is provided for receiving the public and providing citizens 

 with necessary information and literature. 



In the buildings, which are "quonset" type construction, space is 

 provided for storage of specialized and seasonal equipment, such as 

 jeeps, boats, fish nets, electric shockers, snowshoes, as well as replace- 

 ment items, like tires and office material. This factor alone has been 

 an effective means of increasing efficiency and economy. 



Use of pooled vehicles and e-xchange of man power are other factors 

 making the district organization effective. 



Buildings have been constructed at Kalispell, Missoula, Bozeman, 

 Great Falls, Glasgow and Miles City. At Billings, the state game farm 

 buildings are being utilized for headquarters. 



District handling of fish and game business is proving an effective 

 means of managing Montana's two-million-dollar wildlife business. As 

 future demands for outdoor recreations increase, this new system will 

 become increasingly important in managing the valuable fish and game 

 resource.
