Aldo Leopold: A Standard of Change - A One

The one-man play A Standard of Change explores the influences and challenges that led Aldo Leopold to penning some of the most important essays in his book A Sand County Almanac. The play is set in one evening in and around the famous Wisconsin Shack that inspired much of Leopold's writing. Jim Pfitzer, who wrote and stars in the play, skillfully captures Leopold's reflections on the effects of human progress on wildness and how we manage wild places. With over two million copies sold, A Sand County Almanac is one of the most respected books about the environment ever published, and Aldo Leopold has come to be regarded by many as the most influential conservation thinker of the twentieth century.
