Absolute membership numbers prior to 1976, therefore, are not directly comparable to these of subsequent years (from OFNC Annual Reports, 1975-2002). tically reduced. The appearance of substantially fewer area inventories and record documentation articles in Trail & Landscape reflects that trend. This may be part of an unfortunately strong North American perception in recent decades that continuing, original field in- vestigations are of less importance than in previous times. T&L remains, however, an important and highly relevant source of environmental news and natural environment documentation. Programs intended to actively involve the partici- pation of local members have remained an important part of the OFNC. Dozens of field outings, lectures and special events are undertaken each year involving a diversity of well-informed leaders and speakers. For decades the Club's Excursions and Lectures Com- mittee has crafted an interesting and instructive program that contributes greatly to the enhancement of members' skills and to their enjoyment in the field. While field investigations focus on both familiar and exotic local- ities throughout the Ottawa District and the Ottawa Valley, the Club does not confine itself to this area. T
