As a lifelong resident of Wisconsin, the Leopold conservation and "round river" ethic runs deep in his veins. An avid advocate for the outdoors, he serves on the Board of Directors for the Kickapoo Valley Reserve and the Rivers Alliance of Wisconsin. When not filming or cooking, Luke spends his time canoeing the many rivers, lakes and streams of the United States in an effort to experience truly "wild places.” Jack Jennetta (Land Stewardship Fellow @Aldo Leopold Foundation) I grew up in a small town in north-central Connecticut, surrounded by woods and just a five-minute bike ride to a state wildlife refuge. Encouraged to explore these woods by my father, this setting instilled a passion for hiking in, mountain biking through, skating on frozen ponds, and simply observing whatever slice of paradise I was lucky enough to call home. While at Tulane and during my time studying abroad in Beijing, I majored in environmental studies, political science, and Mandarin Chinese. While in these diverse environments, I dipped my toe in environmental non-profit work, ornithological field research on the Louisiana coastline, operations management at a Beijing-based zero-waste lifestyle store, and museum curation at the world’s largest fish collection. All of these experiences led me to the Aldo Leopold Land Stewardship Fellowship, where I hope to continue learning new skills and new ways to protect our environments both local and global. Kei Kohmoto (Education and Communication Fellow @Aldo Leopold Foundation) My name is Kei and I am so excited to be joining the Aldo Leopold Foundation as an education and communication fellow! As a proud Wisconsinite, I have many fond memories of exploring the outdoors, from visiting local and state parks with friends and family to watching the sunset over Lake Mendota with an ice cream cone in hand. I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor where I earned a Bachelor’s degree from the Program in the Environment with a specialization in environmental communication. I hope to apply and expand on my learning about how we communicate environmental issues, like climate change, and sustainability in ways that are welcoming, engaging, and inclusive. I am especially excited about learning firsthand what a land ethic means to me and how I can apply that learning to wherever I go. Jackson Newman (Education and Communication Fellow @Aldo Leopold Foundation) My name is Jackson Newman and I am from Bethesda, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. In 2020, I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in Political Science. As a Communications and Education Fellow at the Aldo Leopold Foundation, I hope to continue to develop my ability to communicate with varied audiences on environmental issues and tell compelling stories that highlight the need for a new land ethic. I am excited by the opportunity to live on the grounds of the farm and cultivate a deeper connection with my natural surroundings. Eric Snyder (Land Stewardship Fellow @Aldo Leopold Foundation) Growing up in rural Wisconsin, I always had an affinity for the outdoors. My family would often take multi-weeklong canoe trips to the Quetico Provincial Park in Canada, which helped form my interest in natural resources. After high school I was not interested in immediately going to college, I was a bit of an itinerant, working various trade skill jobs and as an arborist before deciding upon college. Wanting a change and adventure, I moved to Alaska where I had some family living. There, I enlisted in the Army National Guard as an Airborne Infantryman and attended the University of Alaska for two-years before transferring to the University of Colorado to finish up my degree. For several years I have been looking forward to moving back home to Wisconsin, so I am very excited to join the Future Leaders Program and be a part of the Aldo Leopold Foundation’s team and legacy!
