     The Act also changes the representation on the Board of Governors. 
     
     There will be seven persons elected by the membership at the Annual 
     
     Meeting, three appointed by government (initially, representing 
     
     Cultural Affairs, Education, and Provincial Parks), and the Island 
     
     Acadian community. 
     
    

    
     It will be a few months before any significant change of 
     
     direction is apparent. The search for a new Director is still in 
     
     progress and the New Board has yet to be constituted. One interesting 
     
     develOpment, however, is a proposal now under consideration to have 
     
     office space at Beaconsfield provided for the Island Nature Trust 
     
     and the Natural History Society. 
     
    

    
     The first priority for the Prince Edward Island Museum and 
     
     Heritage Foundation will be to provide an improved museum service 
     
     in all parts of the Island. A new central facility is not under 
     
     consideration. ‘ ' 
     
    

    
     When sufficient funds can be found, a Curator of Natural 
     
     History will be hired. Then the work of collecting and interpreting 
     
     the Island's natural heritage can begin in earnest! 
     
    

    
     Our congratulations and thanks go to the Honorable Gordon 
     
     Lank and his staff who were instrumental in the passage of this 
     
     Act. ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     LIHOU AND THE INTERNATIONAL TRUST FOR CONSTRUCTIVE LIVING: 
     
    
   
   
    
     Colonel Patrick Wootton provided members at the Annual Meeting 
     
     with an enthusiastic presentation on his work with youth groups on 
     
     Lihou, a small island in the Guernsey Islands. His renditions of 
     
     success stories in getting city youths involved with their own 
     
     communities through their exposure for the first time to the peace 
     
     and solitude of a natural setting were inspiring. Colonel Wootton's 
     
     involvement with the Lihou camps is coming to a close but in the 
     
     near future the International Trust for Constuctive Living, of 
     
     which he is the founder , will start sponsoring camps at 
     
     Sharams Point near Murray Harbour. 
     
    

    
     The camps will be orientated in much.the same way as those 
     
     on Lihou but the youths will also have the.opportunity for exposure 
     
     to small scale organic farming, renewable energy systems, permaculture 
     
     (the farming of perennial crops such as trees~and shrubs with.crop 
     
     intreplanting and animal grazing), and projects in animal and 
     
     plant biology. The two Murray Island Candidate Natural Areas which 
     
     Colonel Wootton purchased will be used in addition to the Sherams 
     
     Point Complex as areas for biological field work. The camps will 
     
     be operated on a non-profit basis for the development of the youths 
     
     involved. 
     
    

    
     If you wish further information on this organization I urge 
     
     you to contact Pat at his home in Bunbury or at Sherams Point. 
     
    

    
     He will be looking for field leaders to assist the youth attending 
     
     the camps in a wide range of studies from marine biology to the 
     
     techniques of cabin building.
