What is the Leopold Education Project (LEP)?
The LEP curriculum, Lessons in a Land Ethic, is an innovative, interdisciplinary conservation ethics curriculum targeted for grades 6-12. The LEP increases student’s awareness of the land, and informs them of how to make responsible choices for our planet, while simultaneously teaching important social, collaborative and critical thinking skills. The LEP is unique in that it uses a classics environmental literary work, Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac to reach students with a conservation ethics message that strives to instill an appreciation for the land community. A LEP Facilitator workshop provides 16-20 contact hours of instruction in the use of LEP curriculum materials. These workshops are held over a two day period and participants are certified as instructors and qualified to facilitate LEP workshops benefiting their local communities by training additional educators.

Workshop Sponsors:  Audubon New Mexico, LEP, Pheasants Forever, and the US Forest Service
