From the beginning, the Aldo Leopold’s philosophy of the Land Ethic guided design of the Legacy Center. The Legacy Center not only meets the highest standards of the U.S. Green Building Council, but also sustains the health, wildness, and productivity of the land, locally and globally. It is a place to learn about Leopold’s intimate, life-long relationship with the American landscape and see his ideas put into practice.

“That land is a community is the basic concept of ecology, but that land is to be loved and respected is an extension of ethics.”
