In 1982, the five children of Aldo and Estella Leopold established the Aldo Leopold Foundation in Baraboo, WI, as a nonprofit conservation organization. We work to inspire an ethical, caring relationship between people and nature through Leopold’s legacy.
Leopold believed his idea of a “land ethic” should not be static, but continually evolve in the minds of a thinking community. In keeping with this, our programs catalyze both responsible action and dialogue, encouraging people and communities to explore and apply a land ethic in a myriad of ways, while continuing to learn.
