The Entire Leopold Clan Five Children In All Worked Together To Put Into Practice Aldo'S 'Land Ethic,' Which Involved Ecological Restoration And Sustainability. In The Process, They Built More Than A Pleasant Weekend Getaway; They Established A New Way Of Relating To Nature.

Carl Leopold.

All Of Aldo And Estella Leopold'S Children Went On To Become Distinguished Scientists And To Devote Themselves To A Life Of Conservation; Their Work Continues Through The Aldo Leopold Foundation.
