- **Event Name**: Madison Reads Leopold: Voices of a Land Ethic
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us at the Visitor Center for a community reading of selections from "A Sand County Almanac" by Aldo Leopold and writings by other environmental thinkers, including Alberto Ríos, Margaret Renkl, and Robin Wall Kimmerer. Listeners may come and go throughout the event. Free, no registration required.

Throughout the afternoon, community members will give voice to Leopold’s keen observations and eloquent conservation philosophy. The readings will include the well-known “calendar” essays as well as other pieces chosen for their relevance to the Arboretum, UW–Madison, and the State of Wisconsin. Readings from contemporary environmental thinkers amplify perspectives, values, and experiences of ethical relationships with the land.

Leopold was the Arboretum’s first research director and closely involved in its design. First published in 1949, "A Sand County Almanac" has prompted generations of people to take better notice – and care – of the natural environment.
