Aldo Leopold Book order
January 11, 1887 – April 21, 1948
Aldo Leopold significantly shaped natural resource management and policy in the early to mid-twentieth century, with his influence expanding posthumously. His experiences and reflections on his Wisconsin farm led him to develop profound concepts of land health and a land ethic that continue to resonate. Though a prolific writer, his most thought-provoking essays, found in collections like *A Sand County Almanac*, were inspired by his time at his rustic shack and the surrounding landscape. Leopold's journey and writings offer a powerful lens through which to understand environmental history and our own relationship with the land.
