Public Lecture: Stephen Laubach – Redefining Conservation on the Leopold Memorial Reserve

May 3, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

real shack

Join the Aldo Leopold Nature Center for Redefining Conservation on the Leopold Memorial Reserve: A New Era of Cooperative Land Stewardship, a free public lecture by author Stephen Laubach.

The land that is now the Leopold Memorial Reserve in Baraboo, Wisconsin, and the site of Leopold’s famous “shack,” provided the families of Aldo Leopold and Thomas Coleman an ideal setting for pioneering experiments in ecological restoration and cooperative conservation. Author Stephen Laubach will examine the evolution of the Reserve idea and how it demonstrates an innovative effort in private conservation connected to the land trust movement and community conservation.

He promotes ecological restoration and environmental stewardship in schools and communities.
