The division also provides programs of public information 

 through such media as newspapers, radio, television, magazines, 

 youth and school programs, correspondence, a film library, 

 and personal contacts. Movie films are in continuous produc- 

 tion and a full-color magazine is published bimonthly. 



Now that the public has become environment conscious, 

 concerned citizens rightfully expect a cooperative effort 

 on the part of state agencies and developing industries to 

 maintain a quality environment. Interagency work on environ- 

 mental problems is largely coordinated through the Environment 

 and Information Division. 



Fish and game biologists continue to augment the staff 

 of engineers and sanitarians in the State Department of Health 

 to round out the pollution control team in Montana. This 

 working arrangement between the two departments enables Montana 

 to approach the pollution control problem with a well-rounded 

 team of technicians. 



The department's position on the Advisory Board to the 

 State Land Commissioner in matters of surface-mined land re- 

 clamation presents numerous opportunities for wildlife habitat 

 development to the Fish and Game Department. The cooperative 

 working arrangement developed with the State Land Commissioner's 

 office has permitted us to make meaningful recommendations, 

 not only on surface-mined land reclamation, but also on develop- 

 ment projects conducted on state lands.
