Buddy Huffaker of the Aldo Leopold Foundation to speak at Aquidneck Land Trust's 2010 Conservation Speaker Series
Considered by many as one of the founding fathers of the land conservation movement, wildlife management and the United States' wilderness system, Aldo Leopold was a conservationist, forester, philosopher, educator, writer and outdoor enthusiast. Leopold's A Sand County Almanac, first published in 1949, sold over 2 million copies and established him as one of the most influential conservation thinkers of the twentieth century. The Aldo Leopold Foundation, established by Leopold's five children, is the primary advocate and interpreter of the Leopold legacy. As Executive Director of the foundation, Buddy Huffaker will help participants understand how Leopold's vision and values continue to influence the conservation movement.This event is FREE and open to the public!
