$Aldo Leopold and the Arc of Wisconsin\u2019s Conservation History$

Join us for “Aldo Leopold and the Arc of Wisconsin’s Conservation History,” presented by Curt Meine at 5 p.m. on April 9, 2026, in room 170 of the Trainer Natural Resources building. The program will examine how Aldo Leopold, who came of age during a period of widespread resource exploitation, helped guide conservation professions toward a more ecological direction and how his land ethic continues to influence conservation in the 21st century.
Meine is a conservation biologist, environmental historian, and writer. He is a senior fellow with the Aldo Leopold Foundation and the Center for Humans and Nature, a research associate with the International Crane Foundation, and an adjunct associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
This event is part of the Voices of Conservation in Wisconsin’s History Spring Seminar Series, hosted by the Wisconsin Center for Wildlife. The series highlights influential figures and ideas that have shaped conservation in Wisconsin and beyond. All events are free and open to the public and live-streamed on CNR's YouTube Channel.
