Aldo Leopold


The blog at the Encyclopaedia Britannica website has a very interesting posting about the naturalist Aldo Leopold. It's a very nice summary of Leopold's life and career, including his founding of the Wilderness Society and the Civilian Conservation Corps.

If it stirs your interest, you can't do better than to start with Leopold's classic work Sand County Almanac. We also have a good selection of his other books in our Nature Writing section.
