Come watch a movie with us on the Bascom House lawn. The movie, Green Fire, provocatively examines Aldo Leopold’s thinking, renewing his idea of a land ethic for a population facing 21st century ecological challenges. Green Fire describes the formation of Leopold’s idea, exploring how it changed one man and later permeated through all arenas of conservation. The film draws on Leopold’s life and experiences to provide context and validity, then explores the deep impact of his thinking on conservation projects around the world today. Through these examples, the film challenges viewers to contemplate their own relationship with the land community. Bring a lawn chair, blanket, and snacks if you like. Come early and take an evening stroll around the garden.
