Synopsis

Discover Aldo Leopold's big ideas about preserving nature and ways even the youngest kids can help, too!

Little children can make a big impact on the environment. Aldo Leopold transformed his childhood love for nature into a life dedicated to protecting and preserving the environment. He encouraged the idea of keeping wilderness areas untouched, so that all people could visit areas free of human interference.
 
Kids will come away from this book excited about the nature they have access to and how to help preserve other wilderness areas.
 
Look for all of the books in the Big Ideas for Little Environmentalists series: Conservation with Jane Goodall, Restoration with Wangari Maathai, and Ecosystems with Rachel Carson.
