     ROYALTY OAKS: 
     
    
   
   
    
     Continued success was enjoyed this summer with the silvicultural 
     
     thinning of another acre of the immature section of the woodlot. The 
     
     wood from this thinning will be removed in the near future and it 
     
     is hoped that the nature trail will be completed by mid to late 
     
     October. At that time, a public tour of the trail will be offered. 
     
    
   
   
    
     NEW MUSEUM ACT: 
     
    
   
   
    
     The new Museum Act, passed during the recent session of the Island 
     
     Legislature, should be of special interest to members of the Trust. 
     
     It foresees an increased priority for natural history in museum 
     
     interpretation for the province. 
     
    

    
     Essentially, the Act transforms the Heritage Foundation into a 
     
     provincial museum of man and nature. The name has been changed to 
     
     the Prince Edward Island Museum and Heritage Foundation, and the 
     
     purpose is expressed thus: "... to study, collect, preserve, intrepret, 
     
     and protect the human and natural heritage of Prince Edward Island for 
     
     the use, benefit and enjoyment of the people of the province."
