76 <strong>Forth</strong> <strong>Naturalist</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Historian</strong>, volume 22<br />
Man <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> L<strong>and</strong>scape Symposia<br />
This November 1999 is our 25th annual symposium, with review/survey<br />
presentations on L<strong>and</strong>scape; Archaeology; History; Butterflies; Birds; Ecology.<br />
The first was organised by Lindsay Corbett, Robert Innes of <strong>the</strong> University’s<br />
Continuing Education, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Clackmannanshire Field Studies Society<br />
(CFSS), after <strong>the</strong> Advancement of Sciences (BA)’s meeting/conference at <strong>the</strong><br />
University in 1974. We were anxious that such presentations of general interest<br />
<strong>and</strong> quality should be regular, <strong>and</strong> not just once a lifetime – since BA (British<br />
Association) meetings are annually at universities – hence a 40 year plus cycle!<br />
Following <strong>the</strong> BA meeting also, several University staff <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs inaugurated<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Forth</strong> <strong>Naturalist</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Historian</strong> (FNH) as an informal University body to<br />
promote <strong>the</strong> environment <strong>and</strong> encourage <strong>and</strong> publish contributions to <strong>the</strong><br />
natural <strong>and</strong> social history of central Scotl<strong>and</strong>. Thence FNH has since run <strong>the</strong>se<br />
symposia, with <strong>the</strong> continuing support of CFSS whose members have regularly<br />
reported on <strong>the</strong> presentations <strong>and</strong> published <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong> April issue of <strong>the</strong> half<br />
yearly CFSS Newsletter. These thus provide a brief record of <strong>the</strong> 25 years of <strong>the</strong><br />
Man <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> L<strong>and</strong>scape.<br />
