Aldo Leopold Visitors Center

The Aldo Leopold Heritage Group has four of its members on a planning committee for a proposed Aldo Leopold visitors center here in Burlington. This idea originated in the Crapo Park Foundation with urging from the Great River Road Commission. This Commission works within the states laying adjacent to the Mississippi River to enhance and create sites of interest in the Mississppi River corridor.

The concept quickly moved from the Crapo Park Foundation into a broader perspective with the enlistment of various other interest groups of which the Aldo Leopold Heritgae group is one.

Information regarding this concept and the progress for it will be forth coming in local media.
