DFLT Presents a Special Screening of “Green Fire” Celebrating Aldo Leopold

Event Description

Join Desert Foothills Land Trust for an extraordinary evening, celebrating one of the most influential voices in conservation, Aldo Leopold! Considered by many to be the father of modern conservation and wildlife ecology, Aldo Leopold was a forester, philosopher, conservationist, educator, writer, and outdoor enthusiast. The documentary “Green Fire” captures Leopold’s transformative journey, tracing his evolution from his formative years working in the National Forests of Arizona to his groundbreaking later career. Through stunning cinematography and thoughtful narrative, the film showcases how Leopold’s revolutionary ideas continue to shape modern conservation efforts from urban centers to remote wilderness areas.

The evening will include a conversation between Buddy Huffaker of the Aldo Leopold Foundation and DFLT President and CEO Vicki Preston.  Together, they’ll connect Leopold’s timeless wisdom to the vital work of protecting our beloved Sonoran Desert landscape.
