See the first full-length, high-definition documentary film ever made about legendary conservationist Aldo Leopold and his environmental legacy! Green Fire shares highlights from his extraordinary career, explaining how he shaped conservation and the modern environmental movement. It also illustrates how Leopold's vision of a community that cares about both people and land continues to inform and inspire people across the country and around the world.
Leopold spent his early career in New Mexico and Arizona, developing ideas that remain relevant today. He continues to inspire projects nationwide that connect people and land.
Leopold’s call for a respectful relationship between people and the natural world lives on in community conservation work happening all across the nation and around the world, and certainly all over New Mexico. Get energized to become a part of the “fierce green fire” of people and organizations working to connect people and land in their own communities!
