Aldo Leopold’s enthusiasm for the environmental movement
took root locally in the work of the Brandywine Conservancy and many others,
including Ted Browning, an important voice for the environment in the
Brandywine Valley. Browning’s book of essays, Notes from Turtle Creek,
provides a local perspective on topics that Leopold explored in A Sand
County Almanac
. Join in a discussion led by Conservancy staff on issues
raised by both writers and learn how historic developments in land stewardship
and conservation have shaped the look and feel of this region. Both books are
available in the Brandywine River Museum Shop; it is not necessary to have read
the books to participate. The presentation
is free for members and included in museum admission. The museum and galleries
will open at 6 p.m.
