Natural resources re-organized, departments being relocated A re-organization by the Ministry of Natural Resources implements the moving of some offices from the Orono Tree Nursery to other District beadquarters. In general the re-organization has set-up seven regions with regional headquarters throughout the Province. The regions have been then divided into Districts which have almost doubled in number through the re-organization. The new scheme is to cut dowm on àdministration costs as well and accounting costs and to place more people in the field. The regions will handle all the adminstration and all the accounting for the districts and departments within the region. The districts will have only one or two office staff with the major portion of the office work being done in the regional offices.
