The Aldo Leopold Foundation announces an upcoming week of earth-inspired programming, in celebration of the return of geese, the flow of maple sap, and the sun’s waxing warmth! All are invited to register for and virtually attend the foundation’s annual grassroots celebration of Leopold Week, 2022.
Last year’s Leopold Week program—Building and Ethic of Care for All—was attended online by 3,387 registered participants from all 50 states and over 11 countries! Space is limited, and you are advised to register soon for the Aldo Leopold Foundation’s 2022 speaker’s series at www.aldoleopold.org.
This year’s Leopold Week theme—Explore Your Sense of Place—will be presented via a speaker series designed to connect all people with their natural landscape through food, history, writing, photography, recreation, and land care—the same tenets the Leopolds used to connect to their Shack and farm. Join thousands of individuals across the globe in a week of virtual programming that will leave you reflective of your own relationship with nature, inspired to learn more, and connected to others that care for natural and human communities alike.

As Earth Day 50 approaches, a new edition of Aldo Leopold’s masterpiece, A Sand County Almanac, arrives just in time to reach a new generation with a timeless message: that our moral responsibilities will determine how we care for each other and for our shared home, the earth. First published by Oxford University Press in 1949, in the decades since it has become a conservation and literary classic. The 2020 edition features an introduction by famed author and conservationist Barbara Kingsolver, reflecting, “Aldo Leopold, a man who died before I was born, is part of my inner circle. I always look forward to cracking open his door, A Sand County Almanac, for another chat.” Download Press Kit or see corresponding materials below.
