A Wilderness Science and Art Collaboration

Aldo & Leonardo, a partnership between Colorado Art Ranch and the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute, is a project to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. The project is inspired by the scientific wisdom of Aldo Leopold and the artistic genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Our endeavor is an interdisciplinary collaboration of artists and scientists designed to celebrate the lands, resources and opportunities protected by the Wilderness Act. In 2013, we are hosting one-month residencies in six diverse wilderness areas. Artists will work alongside wildland research scientists and gain firsthand knowledge of the wonders, complexities and challenges of our nation's wildest places. The result will be a body of work that creatively illustrates the value of wild areas and honors the scientific efforts to preserve wilderness for the next fifty years.

Waste Consciousness

By Elisabeth Nickles

Few of us can plead "not guilty" to one-time use plastic, but please consider, when tossing it in the trash, that it ends up somewhere and that somewhere is often times the ocean

    i went to a hostel by the ocean where they had a chicken wire enclosure about 6ft tall and 3 feet wide that was 3/4 full of plastic bottles all picked up one at a time from the beach by guests. it made a huge impression on me.
