Our Mission

The Leopold Heritage Group is dedicated to promoting Aldo Leopold's legacy in his hometown, the natural and cultural environment of southeast Iowa, and encouraging wild landscapes.

About LHG

The Leopold Heritage Group was founded in 2004 on the idea of celebrating Leopold's life in Burlington while raising awareness of his Land Ethic, work in wildlife management, and his encouragement of understanding ecosystems. While the main focus is on Aldo, effort is given to include his brother Frederic's work and how the family gained its sensitivity to the natural environment.
