Growing Up Under Leopold's Influence: family remniscences and reflections about instilling a love for and connection with nature and the land by his daughter Estella Leopold and his great granddaughter Clare Kazanski.
The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies hosted a Symposium on April 3rd, 2009 honoring the centennial of the graduation of Aldo Leopold from the school and his acclaimed contributions to environmental conservation. Leopold became a leading and radical voice in American conservation, launching his land ethic in his celebrated book, “A Sand County Almanac.” The day-long symposium appraised the Leopold legacy, examined his relevance today and explored how his land ethic might be reformulated for the global environmental and social challenges of the 21st century. This is a recording of the conversation over lunch with Leopold’s youngest daughter Estella, and his great granddaughter, Clare Kazanski. The conversation was a reminiscence of family life at “the shack,” the abandoned farm in the Wisconsin prairie Leopold bought and restored in the 1930s and forties, and his continuing influence on his progeny today. Gene Likens, an ecologist and founding director of the Institute for Ecosystem Studies, introduced Estella and Clare. Estella is Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, University of Washington. Clare Kazanski is a Program Associate of the National Climate Campaign at the Environmental Defense Fund.
