Three Popular Influencers Explore Landscapes of Healing
BARABOO, WI, UNITED STATES, February 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Aldo Leopold Foundation is excited to announce a healing trio of virtual speakers during Leopold Week 2026, March 10-12! All are invited to register now and virtually attend the foundation’s annual grassroots Land Ethic® Live! celebration of Leopold Week. There is no cost to register or attend.
Last year’s Land Ethic® Live! programs attracted more than 20,000 registered participants from 50 states and 49 countries! All are encouraged to register today for the Aldo Leopold Foundation’s 2025 speaker series and the Leopold Week speakers at https://www.aldoleopold.org/news-and-events/land-ethic-live.
This year’s Leopold Week theme is “Landscapes of Healing,” and will feature a ground-truthing virtual speaker series led by Alexis Nikole Nelson (@TheBlackForager), Dr. Jennifer Grenz, and Dr. Dacher Keltner. Join thousands of individuals from around the globe for three evenings of easy-access, online programming that will inspire and rejuvenate the land ethic in you, and in hearts everywhere.
As Aldo Leopold wrote in A Sand County Almanac, “One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.”
Balm, medicine, nourisher, and companion. The natural world is an expert healer. But in a world of wounds—both personal and ecological—how can we heal ourselves and our relationships with the land and each other? Join Nelson, Grenz, and Keltner, March 10-12 and find your earthy balm in 2026.
“The Leopold Week Speaker Series now reaches people inhabiting the lands of all continents,” said Buddy Huffaker, Leopold Foundation Executive Director. “Wherever you are, it’s easy to join these world-class voices who will show you the healing power of the natural, wild, and free!”
