This symposium honors the accomplishments of Aldo Leopold’s son, Luna Leopold. Invited speakers including Bill Zeedyk will explore watershed conditions, drainage patterns and riparian restoration throughout the Southwest.

The Range School will explore practical strategies that promote co-existence between wildlife and livestock, including profitable economic approaches that promote conservation.  Speakers include Dan Taylor from Bat Conservation International.
