Protecting Door County's Exceptional Lands and Waters..Forever
 
Aldo Leopold

Aldo Leopold said, "A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community." 

This coming weekend four organizations have planned a progressive reading marathon from A Sand County Almanac. I invite you to come and listen as I share one of Leopold's early essays about a place where he learned "to think like a mountain" and as a result helped form the way our nation thinks about its wild places.

Leopold's essay, 'Escudilla,' is the story of a mighty mountain and all of its beauty, of a lone grizzly bear clinging to its very existence and of a place and time, forever changed by the progress of man.

I hope you'll join us Sunday, March 5, 3-4:30 p.m. for this homage to Aldo Leopold,  one of Wisconsin's most influential conservationists. You'll find the schedule and details below.

Sincerely,




 
Tom Clay
Executive Director, Door County Land Trust
