"Aldo Leopold, the Land Ethic, and A Sand County Almanac: The makings of a movement" by Buddy Huffaker. Join us for a virtual presentation from the director of the Aldo Leopold Center. While Aldo Leopold’s impact on the conservation movement is broad and deep, he is mostly known as the author of the now classic A Sand County Almanac. Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2024, A Sand County Almanac has been translated into sixteen languages and serves as one of the foundational texts for anyone that cares about people and places. But becoming a classic doesn’t happen overnight, it requires great writing, and often a few twists of fate. Buddy will provide a quick biographical sketch of Aldo Leopold (watch GreenFire, the Emmy winning documentary, for a full biographical profile of Leopold for free at https://www.aldoleopold.org/teach-learn/digital-resources/#Green-Fire) and then focus on the people and events that have kept A Sand County Almanac and the call for a Land Ethic as relevant as ever.
