Oregon Naturalist In-Person Book Club: A Sand County Almanac

Join us for an in-person book club on July 27th from 10:00 -11:30 AM to discuss a Sand County Almanac. Aldo Leopold’s book A Sand County Almanac's message about our relationship with nature is more important now than ever. Leopold’s collection of essays introduced a “land ethic” as a moral compass for how humans should live on the Earth. For Leopold, “land” encompassed “soil, water, plants, animals, and people,” and he advocated for an ethical relationship with each and all, collectively. Leopold’s transformative ideas are both timely and timeless and he could not fully anticipate the challenges now presented by climate change, biodiversity loss, and other pressing global issues.

Discussion will be led by Jason O’Brien, Oregon Naturalist Statewide Program Coordinator.
