What’s your ‘Sand County’ story? Tell us!
We hear it all the time – people have personal stories about A Sand County Almanac. Visitors share with us the first time the read the book, who shared with them or assigned it in class. We’ve seen well-loved copies tattered, dog-eared, highlighted, and notated and doodled on. Passionate owners share the story of who gave it to them, where it’s been, or how many times they’ve read it. And, we can’t even begin to count how many times we’ve heard, “My favorite essay is … because …”
In celebration of 70 years of Aldo Leopold’s classic A Sand County Almanac and all the people it has reached, touched, and moved across the globe, we want to share that inspiration with you. But, we need to record your stories.
Tell us your ‘Sand County’ story! We’ll share and swap stories with other readers near and far illuminating connections across geographies, ages, cultures, and more. And while we draw inspiration from each other, deepening our understanding of a land ethic, we can imagine Aldo would be delighted.
