70 Years Later, "A Sand County Alamanac" Still Rings True

By KATELYN HARROP & CHARITY NEBBE 

Talk of Iowa

It's the April meeting of the Talk of Iowa book club! Join Charity Nebbe and readers across the state as they explore Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac".

Charity Nebbe and readers from across the state explore the 70-year-old lessons of Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac," still relevant today.

"A Sand County Almanac" was first published in 1949, but Aldo Leopold’s contemplative musings on conservation and land stewardship remain poignantly relevant.

On this book club edition of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe is joined by Leopold biographer Curtis Meine, environmental economist Silvia Secchi and wildlife biologist Jim Pease for a fresh look at this seminal text. Listeners from across the state also join the discussion.
