Welcome to the
Aldo Leopold Nature Center!
Mission & Philosophy
The mission of the Aldo Leopold Nature Center is to provide
educational programs and interactive exhibits which
“...teach the student to see the land, to understand what he
sees, and enjoy what he understands” in the spirit of famed
ecologist Aldo Leopold. Through these programs, ALNC fosters
admiration and respect for nature, and encourages
sustainability and stewardship of the land. Established in 1994 as an independent
not-for-profit charitable organization, ALNC operates two
innovative nature centers year-round (Monona and Black
Earth). ALNC is governed by a volunteer board of directors, managed by
professional staff, solely funded by charitable
contributions and program fees, and supported by hundreds of
dedicated volunteers.
