Leopold Elementary School in Madison. Leopold Residence Hall at UW-Madison. The Leopold Nature Center in Monona. Look around Madison and you can see any number of tributes to one of Wisconsin’s most influential residents, Aldo Leopold, author of A Sand County Almanac.

Carrying that legacy forward today is The Aldo Leopold Foundation of Baraboo, started by his family in 1982. Their goal? To inspire an ethical relationship between people and nature.

This week, they’re hosting a series of free online talks from influential thinkers, writers and doers in scientific and conservation circles, from novelist Diane Wilson to science journalist Ed Yong.  

Bianca Martin caught up with Buddy Huffaker, executive director of The Aldo Leopold Foundation, to learn what’s on tap this week.
