Join us at Crystal Lake Brewing to discuss A Sand County Almanac, before our event 6/23 at the Raue Center for the Arts!
A Sand County Almanac achieved prominence around the first Earth Day in 1970. Through science, history, humor and prose, Aldo Leopold uses A Sand County Almanac and its call for a land ethic to communicate the true connection between people and the natural world. The hope is that readers will begin to treat the land with the love and respect that it deserves. Join us for a shared book discussion with staff and patrons of McHenry County Libraries United. Snacks will be provided, beverages will be available for purchase. Books are available to check out through our library catalog, in book, e-book and e-audio formats.
Considered by many to be the father of wildlife ecology and modern conservation, Aldo Leopold was a forester, philosopher, conservationist, educator, writer, and outdoor enthusiast. Aldo and 7 other conservationists started The Wilderness Society, which continues today as an advocate to restore America's wilderness areas. He wrote down his observations and thoughts about this new concept known as "land ethic," and although he died one year before his famous book, A Sand County Almanac, was published, his ideas about nature and the environment continue today as his lasting legacy.
We look forward to the following free special event with Jennifer Sterling of the Aldo Leopold Foundation on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7pm at the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake. Please register separately to join us on June 23rd at 7pm.
