Nature's Restoration

This month at the Nature Center Store, we will be celebrating the birthday of Aldo Leopold. Born January 11, 1887 Aldo was an American author, scientist, ecologist, forester and environmentalist.  He was a Professor at the University of Wisconsin, and is best known for his book A Sand County Almanac. He was influential in the development of modern environmental ethics and in the movement for wilderness conservation. In honor of Aldo’s January birthday, receive 25% off NATURE’S RESTORATION!
