Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) is considered
the father of wildlife ecology and a true Wisconsin hero. He was a renowned
scientist and scholar, exceptional teacher, philosopher, and gifted writer. It
is for his book, A Sand County Almanac, that Leopold is best known by millions
of people around the globe. The Almanac, often acclaimed as the century’s
literary landmark in conservation, melds exceptional poetic prose with
keen observations of the natural world. The Almanac reflects an evolution
of a lifetime of love, observation, and thought. It led to a philosophy
that has guided many to discovering what it means to live in harmony with
the land and with one another.
