Why We Exist
Once regarded as a national leader in conservation, Wisconsin’s proud tradition of dedicated stewardship of its land, waters, and wildlife has been severely compromised. Wisconsin’s Green Fire: Voices for Conservation, now seeks to reclaim that tradition of leadership for a new generation.
Our name, Wisconsin’s Green Fire, seeks to honor and further the life work of conservation leader Aldo Leopold. Our name does not reflect any formal affiliation with the Aldo Leopold Foundation, or the biographical film Green Fire. We do however share a common cause and commitment to the land ethic that Leopold championed, and to the pursuit and understanding of science in service to conservation.
