Mar 11, 2021

07:00 PM - 08:00 PM

Save to My Events

Ten years ago, Green Fire, the first full-length documentary film about legendary conservation thinker Aldo Leopold and his seminal idea of a land ethic was released. Today, the land ethic continues to evolve in the minds of thinking communities around the world. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Green Fire, the Aldo Leopold Foundation is bringing together diverse voices from the film, including Bill McDonald, Curt Meine, Leslie Weldon, and Michael Howard to reflect on how their own idea of a land ethic has evolved since the film first premiered. Short film clips will be interwoven with panelist discussion to allow not only our panel, but also you, to reflect on the past, present, and future of conservation. We invite you to join us for this engaging and thought-provoking evening as we discuss the future outlook of a land ethic as it applies to social change, urban environments, and the conservation movement as a whole. 

We encourage you to watch Green Fire prior to the event, but it is not a requirement to attend. Two versions of the film are available to stream for free on our website—the full-length 73 minute film, and the shortened 56 minute version.
