Inspiring Voices for the Land Ethic

Caring for people, land, and community is more relevant than ever.

Bring the prominence of Aldo Leopold and the Land Ethic to your next event.

Our speakers dive into important topics like climate resilience, land stewardship, community building, and ecological restoration. We demonstrate that the Land Ethic isn’t just something from the past; it’s a relevant guide for tackling the challenges we face today and in the future.

When you host a speaker from the Aldo Leopold Foundation, you’re connecting your event to Aldo Leopold's legacy and the Land Ethic. This unique connection helps audiences rethink their relationship with the land and encourages them to adopt this ethic in their own lives and communities.

We have a variety of speakers, each with their own unique perspectives. Check out their individual pages for more info and to submit a request.

Celebrating Our Land Ethic

Around the first week of March, with the return of geese and the flow of maple sap, comes the annual celebration of Leopold Week. Thousands of people from around the world join this virtual speaker series seeking inspiration from leading voices in conservation, nature and science writing, land ethics, outdoor recreation, and more.

"When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."

- Aldo Leopold

Educational Resources

The future of conservation lies with the next generation. Through our free library of learning resources, we hope to inspire and empower learners and educators to take conservation into their own hands.
