Leopold bench instructions.
This past summer we found the Leopold bench to be an excellent fundraiser and service project. As a fundraiser, a bench was used for a raffle at both the National LEP Conference in Wisconsin and the Focus on Forever Workshop for PF/QF chapter leaders in Nebraska. In Nebraska, the raffle raised $645 for Nebraska’s LEP programs. Raffle tickets were sold for $10 or 3 for $20.
The National Youth Leadership Council built six Leopold benches as a service project for the Norris School District in Lincoln, Nebraska. Each bench had a plaque (donated by Awards Unlimited in Lincoln) and the benches were placed around the school. Before building the benches, the 14 youth learned about Aldo Leopold and his legacy to wildlife management and conservation. Afterwards, they read one of his essays while sitting on the benches.
