We welcome you to experience a peek into the life and work of Aldo Leopold and his family. By witnessing this area, you will feel like Leopold, himself, is inviting you into a “thinking community” inspiring you to develop a land ethic capable of meeting the social and ecological challenges of what we face today. Suggestion: You may want to see the film “Green Fire” on May23, 2:30pm as prologue to the tour.

This trip to Baraboo Wisconsin, will include a guided tour of the Léopold Shack and Farm, then travel to the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center. Following lunch and a visit to the gift shop is another guided tour of the Aldo Leopold Center to hear about how this building fits into the surrounding environment. We will find out how local materials were used in the building, and how this LEED building uses 70% less energy than a typical building its size. Talk about renewable energy and energy efficiency! After this, we will explore the exhibit hall, memorial and hiking trails.

We will then head back home and during the trip back, we will discuss what we saw.
