Aside from the fact that Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin in 1970, lets not forgot one of Wisconsin's "favorite sons",
Aldo Leopold - ecologist, forester, outdoorsman, hunter and conservationist, who spent the last 24 years of his life in western Wisconsin. Leopold founded the science of wildlife management and
wrote the landmark book, A Sand County Almanac.
"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise."
- Aldo Leopold
Read the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's editorial on Leopold's conservation contributions. You can find more information
