Southwest Celebration of Leopold in 2009
In New Mexico and Arizona, we’re collaborating on a year-long series of events in 2009 to celebrate Leopold’s legacy in the southwest. The year marks the centennial of Leopold’s arrival in Springerville, Arizona—then 60 miles from the end of the railroad line—to join the ranks of the U.S. Forest Service. Networks are developing in communities across both states, and volunteers are welcome. Planning meetings have been held in Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Prescott, and Tucson.

Aldo Leopold, the Southwest, and the Evolution of a Land Ethic for the Future: A Cultural Conversation
National Hispanic Cultural Center, Albuquerque
February 13-14, 2009
The colloquium, conceived as the opening event in the 2009 centennial celebration of Aldo Leopold's arrival in the Southwest, is intended to foster creative discussion in a multicultural context about the history and prospects for vibrant and healthy communities in the Southwest and globally, grounded in environmental sustainability and a land ethic. It will include discussion of the Southwestern roots of Aldo Leopold's land ethic, the roots of an environmental ethic in Hispanic and Native American traditions in the Southwest, and the connections among them historically and prospectively, locally and globally. Co-sponsored by the Aldo Leopold Foundation, the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the U.S. Forest Service, the University of New Mexico and other organizations, is open to the public, with invited scholars, community leaders, and participants from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.
