This annual event features a distinguished environmental thinker who inspires audiences to explore today's critical environmental issues. To complete the intergenerational nature of the Leopold Writing Program, the Annual Leopold Lecturer also presents the awards to the 6th-12th grade winners of the Aldo Leopold Writing Contest. The Annual Leopold Lecturers enhance the influence of the growing network of writers and respected environmental leaders who have been touched by the Leopold Writing Program. This year's speaker is Robin Wall Kimmerer. Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is the author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants and Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses.  She lives in Syracuse, New York, where she is a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. We are happy to partner with Bookworks who will be coordinating a book signing after the lecture.
