Leopold family to launch lecture series

Four members of Aldo Leopold’s family will come together April 21 to share insights about the man who birthed the Wisconsin land ethic.

Nina Leopold Bradley, founder and director of the Aldo Leopold Foundation, will be joined by her three living siblings to celebrate the inaugural lecture of the Aldo Leopold Lecture Series in Natural Resources, scheduled for April 21, 3:30 p.m. in the Wisconsin State Historical Society Auditorium. A public reception will follow the lecture.

Bradley will speak on “A Sense of Place;” siblings A. Carl Leopold, plant physiologist at Cornell University; Estella B. Leopold, palynologist at the University of Washington; and Luna B. Leopold, geomorphologist at the University of California-Berkeley will join Bradley following her talk to speak about their father.

The Aldo Leopold Lecture Series in Natural Resources is co-sponsored by the Department of Wildlife Ecology and the Department of Forest Ecology and Management, in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
