“The Historic Landscape” Speaker Series
Part 3 of 4 (2nd Tuesday of each month June through September)
Speaker: Matt Blessing
Retired State Archivist and Division Administrator, Wisconsin Historical Society
Topic: Reading the Landscape: Aldo Leopold’s Use of History
Conservation legend Aldo Leopold purported that an ecological analysis of the landscape is essential to understanding the past. Human interaction with the land may help explain root causes of dramatic and sweeping events in human history, including those which played out right here at the Fox-Wisconsin portage.
