WHITE PELICAN — Big and striking, this pelican
nests on the ground in close-packed colonies on
rocky islands or headlands in lakes. With a wing
span of over 8 feet and weighing from 15 to 20
pounds it is one of our largest birds. They
frequently come into larger marshes in pursuit of
small fish. Groups may be seen fishing together,
using their enormous bills as dip-nets. In Canada
confined to the prairie provinces where it ranges
north to the Athabasca Delta' in Alberta,

Venn?. Fear of R.R,3, Blyth,
is otie of only eight girls tak-ing part in the 1972 Junior Con-
servationists program in Ont-
ario. She is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Bert Fear.
The program, for which the
teenagers must have an avid
interest in natural environment
backed up with a lot of hard
work, also has 24 boys taking
part.
The students, all between 16
and 18 years old, are spending
their summer working, (and play-
ing) in four of Ontario's 38 con-
servation authorities.
The Junior Conservationist
Award. Program is sponsored by
the Ministry of Natural Re-
sources. It has been under the
direction of the Conservation
Authorities Branch since its in-
ception in 1966 when 10 students
participated in the first program.
Including this year's part-
icipants, 159 students have been
involved in the project.
To be eligible for the ed-
ucation-work experience, the
students must be nominated by
such resources-oriented organ-
izations as boy scouts, girl guides
4 - H clubs, conservation auth-
orities, naturalists clubs, etc.
The students must also have pro-
ven records of personal involve-
ment in some outdoor enter-
prises.
All told, the students spend
six weeks in the program, the
first at the Albion Hills Con-
servation Area where they re-
ceived an intensive education
course in such resource manage-
ment techniques as map reading,
water pollution testing, compass
reading, basic forestry and sur-
veying. Upon completion of the
course, they were divided into
four groups to work independent-
ly on their assigned projects.
Velma, and the other seven
girls, are working together in
the Saugeen Valley Conservation
Authority where they are living
in a 100-year-old farmhouse
without electricity.
The students put in a normal,
hard day's work six days a week
for which they are paid, five
dollars per day plus room and
board. In their spare time they
have plenty of opportunities to
learn more about the environ-
ment and its preservation and
conservation. They also have
time for varied outdoor rec-
reation activities from fishing
to canoeing, from swimming to
hiking to camping out.
The progiam Is under the
general supervision of co-ordin-
ator Paul Attack of Huttonville,
a graduate of environmental stud-
ies at the University of Water-
loo. Each project group has a
qualified senior leader.
"The Junior ConServa.tionist
Award Program has proven to
be an excellent means of intro-
ducing serious, conservation-
minded young people to the day-
to-day resource management sit-
uation in Ontario," commented
Natural Resources Minister Leo
Bernier. "we are pleased to
provide these students with this
opportunity, and we are confident
that the experience will stand
them in good stead in achieving
any aspirations they may have
in this field."
