Evening Programs: Leopold Week 2022

Description

Hope Amidst Havoc: Exploring the Conservation Movement’s Past, Present, and Future with Michelle Nijhuis on 3/8

Especially in recent years, it has become no secret that the conservation movement has a troubling past. Where do we find hope in that history, and in currently emerging movements, for a brighter future? Join Beloved Beasts author Michelle Nijhuis to explore the people and places that created the conservation movement – and where Leopold and his impact fit in that grand timeline.

Beyond the Picturesque: Re-Envisioning Human-Land Relationships using Photography with Dr. Edgar Cardenas on 3/9

Have popular images of mountains and waterfalls, like those found in nature calendars, diluted our appreciation for our local nature spaces? Is there a way to nurture and deepen our appreciation for everyday ecologies through deep observation and communion with the land? Well-versed in Leopold and the convergence of artistic and scientific practices, Dr. Edgar Cardenas (author of Between Two Pines) shares and discusses his own photographic work exploring the subtleties of human-land relationships and Leopold Fellow Jackson Newman shares how Cardenas’s work has inspired his own photography on the Leopold Memorial Reserve.

Parks and Rec meets Berry and Leopold: Nick Offerman’s Growing Conservation Ethic with Nick Offerman & Buddy Huffaker on 3/10

How do we “comprehend, protect, and truly experience the outdoors,” even in fields outside of conservation? Actor, author, humorist and woodworker Nick Offerman explores this question in his latest book, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play. Join the Aldo Leopold Foundation, led by Buddy Huffaker, for an evening in conversation with Offerman as we search together for answers.

*All sessions will be recorded and posted for registrants following Leopold Week.

Message preview	Hi there, You are invited to a Zoom webinar. Topic: Evening Programs: Leopold Week 2022 Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nHNo7PYgQnS546nGFSNYiw After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. ---------- Webinar Speakers Michelle Nijhuis (Author @Beloved Beasts) Michelle Nijhuis is the author of Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction, a history of the modern conservation movement. She is a project editor for The Atlantic and a longtime contributing editor of High Country News, and her reporting has appeared in publications including National Geographic and the New York Times Magazine. After 15 years off the electrical grid in western Colorado, she and her family now live in White Salmon, Washington, where she continues to aspire to plain citizenship. Edgar Cardenas (Author and Photographer @Between Two Pines) Edgar Cardenas holds a Ph.D. in Sustainability from Arizona State University and works at the art-science interface. He grew up in Brodhead, WI just south of Madison but did not learn of Aldo Leopold’s work until he moved to Arizona. His book, “Between Two Pines,” lays out how an informed, engaged, and integrative artist-scientist practice is essential for addressing the complex sustainability challenges we face today. As an interdisciplinary artist, Edgar’s work investigates the tangled sociocultural, ecological, and political-economic subtleties of human/environment relationships. He explores how these socio-environmental systems are as much a result of a person’s aesthetic, ethical dispositions, and social norms, as it is their ecological understanding. Ultimately, his work emphasizes the need for communion with everyday ecologies as a method for illuminating what is obvious but often overlooked: we are not separate from each other or our environments. Nick Offerman (Actor and Author @Where the Deer and the Antelope Play) Nick Offerman is an actor, author, and woodworker, best known as the character of Ron Swanson on NBC’s Parks & Recreation, Forest in Devs, the FX limited series from writer-director Alex Garland, Karl Weathers in the FX series Fargo and co-host and executive producer of NBC’s Making It. Offerman has written five New York Times Bestselling books, including his latest, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside (Penguin Random House, 2021), Paddle Your Own Canoe, Gumption, Good Clean Fun, and The Greatest Love Story Ever Told, written with his wife, Megan Mullally. In his spare time, he can be found at his woodshop in Los Angeles building hand-crafted items from wood, ranging from spoons to canoes and ukuleles.
