Although the magazine is primarily focused on environmental philosophy, it has also published creative writing such as poetry, provided those writings employ naturalist or ecological imagery. In 1995, Warwick Fox explained that the Trumpeter "began to be numbered consecutively across issues within a volume" beginning in 1988.{{Cite book|last=Fox|first=Warwick|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=05gK9U5c3ywC|title=Toward a Transpersonal Ecology: Developing New Foundations for Environmentalism|publisher=State University of New York Press|year=1995|isbn=978-0791427767|pages=271}}
