FILM SCREENING: GREEN FIRE:  ALDO LEOPOLD AND A LAND ETHIC FOR OUR TIME

Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) pioneered a “land ethic” through his experiences in forestry and wildlife management and his own reflections on “the relation of people to the land.”  Join environmentalist and film narrator, Curt Meine, for a screening of the documentary, “Green Fire:  Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time.”  An afternoon event includes brief presentations by Curt Meine, a screening of the film, and the opportunity to mingle with people engaged in local environmental efforts.  The film and presentations are repeated in the evening.
