Aldo Leopold Scholarship
The Aldo Leopold Scholarship is awarded to graduate students who have demonstrated talent, ability, and interest in natural resources. It was established by Green Tree Garden Club in honor of Aldo Leopold, a UW Wildlife Ecology professor who is best known for his book “A Sand County Almanac”. The scholarship is listed on the CALS (College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at UW-Madison) website as the “Aldo Leopold (Green Tree Garden Club) Scholarship”. It is awarded to CALS graduate students studying Forest Science, Horticulture, Landscape Architecture, or Wildlife Ecology.
