Leopold Residency recipient at the Harwood tonight

STAFF REPORT

SARAH DIMICK is one of two 2021 recipients of the Aldo and Estella Leopold Residencies at the Leopold cabin on Forest Service land at Tres Piedras. Dimick, a literature professor at Harvard, will speak about her research on climate change’s impact on important environmental indicators like snow and ice melting, plant flowering and seeding called phenology. Dr. Dimickwill use the observations and records by Henry David Thoreau in Massachusetts and the Aldo Leopold, who began his Forest Service career in Tres Piedras, NM, in the early 1900s.

These residencies are awarded annually by the Leopold Writing Program. The purpose of the Aldo & Estella Leopold Residency is to provide an inspiring retreat for distinguished and emerging writers to reflect and to create in the physical context of Leopold’s “Mi Casita” in the Carson National Forest of Northern New Mexico, and in the intellectual context of land ethics. “Our mission is to raise cultural awareness of the relevance of Aldo Leopold’s ideas in addressing the pressing environmental issues of our time,” according to press materials.
