Aldo Leopold was one of the greatest environmental minds of the 20th?century.? Through his writings Aldo taught us that land can be thought of as a living thing that grows, changes, and responds to human influences.?In his landmark book,?A Sand County Almanac, Leopold penned a new type of ethics which includes not just respect for humans, but also respect for the land that sustains them. ?Leopold was smart enough to recognize the problems modern society was creating but also wise enough to know that nothing will change without a change in how humans view their role on the planet.?

We already have many templates for how to build a more sustainable lifestyle.? Many different environmental groups are actively promoting ways to improve the health of our soil and water that are necessary to supply the food all species need to survive.

Please join the Lake-to-Prairie Chapter of Wild Ones in a lively group discussion with Dr Jeff Hoyer, where each of you can participate in the type of thinking that will help us be more effective in our own lives at?propagating a land ethic. We will start with a quick review of Aldo Leopold?s main principles, ?followed by small group work to tease out your own version of a land ethic, and finishing with ideas about how we can all help build a more sustainable life for us and our descendants.?
