Education & Outreach Programs“We can be ethical only in relation to something we can see, feel, understand, love or otherwise have faith in.”
The Aldo Leopold Foundation offers educational and outreach programs to increase the ecological literacy of our citizens. Many of these opportunities are hosted at the new Leopold Legacy Center and at the original Leopold farm, where forests, wetlands and prairies serve as an outdoor classroom for exploring ecological relationships. In addition to these programs, The Foundation sponsors seminars and workshops promoting an understanding and appreciation of the conservation movement's history, and participates in the planning and implementation of training sessions for a variety of conservation organizations. The Foundation offers an educational discount on copies of A Sand County Almanac and provides a free reading guide and other teaching tools that are available online in the Resources section of this web site.

Speaking EngagementsThe Aldo Leopold Foundation staff and its volunteers share biographical information about Aldo Leopold, analyze his contribution to conservation and interpret the application of his work on today's conservation issues. Contact the Foundation to arrange for a representative to present at your gathering. Shack Seminar SeriesThe Foundation hosts the Shack Seminar Series, a free summer program that invites discussion on issues facing conservation today. A tradition begun by Aldo Leopold, the Shack Seminar Series offers an opportunity for discussion of conservation issues with leaders from a variety of disciplines. Seminars are held on alternating Monday evenings in June, July, and August. Seminars begin at 6:30 p.m. outside the Leopold Shack, with an optional potluck supper at 6:00. In case of inclement weather, seminars will be moved to a nearby indoor location. Seminars are free and open to the public. See our calendar of events for more information.
