During 1986 and 1987, 110 radio public service announcements were 

 provided to 4 5 radio stations and Department personnel provided 

 650 interviews to radio stations statewide. Twenty-eight public 

 service announcements were sent to 15 television stations in 

 Montana. Additionally, Helena personnel and regional information 

 officers appeared approximately 440 times on Montana television 

 stations to disseminate FWP information. 



Through our youth education programs and the services of our 

 regional information officers, 420 programs, 70 banquet speeches, 

 9 summer camps and one-hour programs in 155 schools were given. 

 These information efforts reached approximately 56,000 people. 

 Work continued on Project WILD, an interdisciplinary effort aimed 

 at environmental education for youth. Project WILD is sponsored 

 by the Department in conjunction with the Office of Public 

 Instruction. Seven major teacher workshops were conducted during 

 the two years and approximately 1,200 teachers have been 

 certified to participate in the Project WILD program to date. 



Publications continued to be a big part of the Division effort. 

 Several new informational pamphlets were produced and included 

 the following: Fishing for Largemouth Bass in Southeastern 

 Montana; Ethics and the Hunter: Your Responsibilities as a 

 Sportsman; and Steel Shot: The Nontoxic Alternative for 

 Waterfowl Hunters. 



The Hunter Education Program certified approximately 12,000 

 Montana youth between the ages of 12 and 18 during the two-year 

 period. The Boating and Snowmobiling education programs also 

 provided information to the public on the safety aspects of these 

 two recreational pastimes.
