Aldo Leopold Leadership Program
The Leopold Leadership Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment advances environmental decision-making by providing academic scientists with the skills and connections needed to be effective leaders and communicators.
Each year up to 20 academic environmental scientists from across North America are selected to receive intensive experiential training, expert consultation, and peer networking. Leopold Leadership Fellows hone skills to better communicate the science associated with complex environmental issues to the media, policy makers, business leaders and other non-scientists. More than 100 past Fellows are actively engaged in scientific outreach on a range of issues from marine conservation science and river restoration ecology to the impacts of global climate change on human health.
