For Leopold Week 2025, nature authors Margaret Renkl (The Comfort of Crows), Camille T. Dungy (Soil), and Amy Tan (The Backyard Bird Chronicles) will be sharing their stories around nature and places through personal experiences and their unique ecological insight.

March 4: Margaret Renkl, author of The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year

March 5: Camille Dungy, author of Soil: The Story Of a Black Mother's Garden

March 6: Amy Tan, international best-selling author of The Joy Luck Club, The Bonesetter's Daughter, and The Backyard Bird Chronicles 

Together, these voices weave a tapestry of ecological insight and personal reflection, reminding us that even the smallest, most intimate encounters with nature can inspire wonder, creativity, and action. Grounded in Aldo Leopold’s enduring vision of a land ethic, this series of virtual talks will inspire you to see the land not just as a backdrop, but as a vibrant partner in the shared story of life. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from three of today’s most resonant voices in nature writing as they guide us to rediscover the beauty and power of our own natural surroundings.—Aldo Leopold Foundation
