Aldo Leopold and Environmental Citizenship
By Aldo Leopold Foundation
Aldo Leopold is known best as a forester, wildlife ecologist, and author of A Sand County Almanac who thought deeply about a land ethic. But have you ever considered him as one who cared about citizenship?
Susan Flader, who wrote the first biography of Aldo Leopold, will explore what citizenship meant to him at various stages in his life and career. She hopes to leave you thinking in a new way about environmental citizenship—and even action—at a time when it is so sorely needed in our country and the world.
