Date: Saturday, March 6, 2021 POSTPONED due to the Covid
Recorded Zoom Program -- "Caring for the Land, the Future and Each Other"
Presentation Date: Tuesday, March 23, 2021
Speaker: Curt Meine, Senior Fellow with the Aldo Leopold Foundation
Summary of Presentation: "Aldo Leopold defined land as 'a community to which we belong.' The land ethic that he
proposed called for us to regard land with 'love and respect,' and to be caretakers of land on behalf of allits members
and future generations. As landowners and land stewards, there has never been a more important time to be acting
with a land ethic in mind--and to contribute to the further development of that ethic."
