Where have you found Leopold?


EDITOR'S NOTE: Last summer we made an offer to our readers: We'll send five copies of A Sand County Almanac to your favorite library if you send us a picture of someplace where you've found the words of Aldo Leopold.

Here is what we heard from two of our readers. By the way, our offer still stands. Send your photos in a sturdy envelope to the Leopold Center at 209 Curtiss Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011-1050. Make sure you tell us when and where the photo was taken, who's in the photo, and where the five Sand County Almanacs should be mailed.

In Guthrie County ...
Iowa's roadside managers have been inspired by the words of Aldo Leopold, emblazoned on a t-shirt worn by Kirk Henderson at Nations Bridge Park in Guthrie County. The occasion was a conference for state and local officials who work with the University of Northern Iowa's Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management program in Cedar Falls.

In Massachusetts ...
Gary Laib, who teaches biology and conservation classes at Poynette High School in Wisconsin, spotted this sign in a park near the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory in Massachusetts. The park board chose an Aldo Leopold quote about seeing land as a community that we treat with love and respect.
