During an extended hike, students will increase their awareness of the land & explore ways they can become better stewards of that land. Students will discover how land is a community that yields a cultural harvest. They will also explore the meaning of "land ethic". This program is based on the writings & ideas of Aldo Leopold, known as the father of wildlife management. Leopold was a conservationist, forester, teacher, writer, philosopher & outdoor enthusiast. His best-known book is The Sand County Almanac.
