This 51-minute DVD recounts the
biography of Wisconsin’s premier environmentalist, Aldo Leopold,

each other at their weekend retreat, the "Shack." Featuring
first-hand accounts by his daughter, Nina Leopold Bradley, and
historic family photos, the film also includes dramatic readings
shot on location at the Shack from Leopold’s famous book, A Sand

Aldo Leopold Shack and Farm (field trip)
Location: Baraboo, WI
Web site:

Wisconsin was home to one of
the most well-know environmental leaders, Aldo Leopold. The
Shack, a re-built chicken coop along the Wisconsin River where
Aldo Leopold and his family stayed during weekend retreats,
inspired many of the essays in the conservation classic, A
Sand County Almanac. The Leopold Center is an educational
and interpretive facility near the Leopold Shack, located on the
very land where Aldo Leopold died in 1948 fighting a brush fire.
The Legacy Center embodies the philosophy of Leopold with
features like solar power, geothermal, and sustainable building
materials - making this one of the “greenest” buildings in the
world. Both self and naturalist guided tours are available. |
