“When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” - Aldo Leopold


What is the relationship between people and the land? What responsibility, if any, do people have to their communities? How can we "use" the land with love and respect?
 
Join us on Wednesday, April 24 for a discussion of Aldo Leopold's "A Land Ethic" (1949). This piece appears as the last work in Leopold's seminal book, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There. There are a variety of editions and printings of the book held by Miami University Libraries that you may request.

If you need a copy of the essay, please contact Marianne Cotugno, who will host the discussion.

The discussion, with snacks, will be held from 12 -1 PM in the Gardner-Harvey Library's TEC SPACE (GRD 014) or on Zoom.
