The year 1954 which continued the Naturalist Prograjnme in 

 Algonquin Park for the eleventh year and saw the second year for the 

 Nature Museum enjoyed greater success in attendance figures than in 

 any preceding year. With the advent of shorter routes and improved 

 highways extending from the large centres of population, Algonquin Park 

 has become a great attraction to thousands of summer visitors. 



Through the presentation of the Park Naturalist Programme there 

 were more than 90,000 contacts made with the public who received some 

 insight into the natural environment. Visitors became more familiar 

 with Ontario's forests and wildlife. They perhaps gained an apprecia- 

 tion, of the importance of the management and proper use of Ontario's 

 natural resources.
