A free screening of "Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time" will be offered 5 to 7 p.m., Feb. 23, in the Hardin Hall auditorium.
The film was screened earlier this month. Scott Hygnstrom, professor and extension wildlife damage specialist for the School of Natural Resources, said graduate students unable to see the film requested a second screening. A site license allows the film to be show repeatedly.
Hygnstrom will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward.
Aldo Leopold was an American author, scientist, ecologist, forester, and environmentalist. He was influential in the development of modern environmental ethics and in the movement for wilderness conservation.
The 72-minute documentary was produced by the Aldo Leopold Foundation, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Center for Humans and Nature. The film explores Leopold’s life in the early part of the 20th century, the development of his philosophy on the "land ethic," and the many ways that it continues to be applied throughout the world today. Narrator Peter Coyote lends his talent as the voice of the film.
