Baraboo, Wisconsin Feb 25, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - The Aldo Leopold Foundation announces an upcoming week of earth-inspired programming, in celebration of the return of geese, the flow of maple sap, and the sun's waxing warmth! All are invited to register for and virtually attend the foundation's annual grassroots celebration of Leopold Week, 2022.

Space is limited, and you are advised to register soon for the Aldo Leopold Foundation's 2022 speaker's series on our Leopold Week Home Page
