About the Event

There will be a Nature Walk starting at the parking area for the Loveless Preserve located at the bend on Eggerts Crossing Road, in Lawrence Township NJ..  The date is Saturday March 4, at 10 AM.  Nationally, the first week in March is an annual salute to environmentalist Aldo Leopold.  The Lawrence Township Environmental Education Foundation (LTEEF) will sponsor the Nature Walk.  David Bosted will lead the one-hour Walk.  He serves as Chair of the Township Shade Tree Advisory Committee.

As a youth, Aldo Leopold attended The Lawrenceville School.  He took long walks in Mercer County and especially loved walking in "Big Woods."  The 3/4/2023 Walk will go deep into Big Woods following the path of the former Johnson Trolley Line.  There is no fee, however donations to LTEEF will support environmental programs.

Aldo Leopold (January 11, 1887 – April 21, 1948) was an American author, philosopher, naturalist, scientist, ecologist, forester, conservationist, and environmentalist. He was a professor at the University of Wisconsin and is best known for his book A Sand County Almanac (1949), which has sold more than two million copies.

Leopold was influential in the development of modern environmental ethics and in the movement for wilderness conservation. His ethics of nature and wildlife preservation had a profound impact on the environmental movement, with his ecocentric or holistic ethics regarding land.  He emphasized biodiversity and ecology and was a founder of the science of wildlife management.
