About this Collection

Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) made important contributions to ecology, conservation, education and ethics, and his ideas and writing continue to shape the evolution of the environmental movement. Formally trained in forestry, he pushed to establish wildlife management as an academic field and was appointed the nation's first professor in the discipline (then called "game management") at the University of Wisconsin in 1933. He is best known as the author of A Sand County Almanac, a slim book of essays that has sold more than two million copies, been translated into 10 languages and become a classic work of literature. This collection brings together a variety of resources to provide readers with a sense of who Aldo Leopold was, the range and extent of his professional contributions and writing, and the influence he has had—and continues to have—on the practice and philosophy of conservation as it extends to a wide variety of fields.
