Aldo Leopold Festival

Aldo Leopold Festival
Nature lovers, outdoor adventurers, and conservation enthusiasts are invited to join us for the 10th Annual Aldo Leopold Festival, taking place May 28–June 1, 2025, in the scenic Les Cheneaux Islands in Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula. The Aldo Leopold Festival honors the life and work of Aldo Leopold, whose formative summers were spent exploring Marquette Island and the Les Cheneaux Area. The festival offers a rare opportunity to experience the same areas that shaped his pioneering land ethic and lifelong passion for ecological stewardship. The festival offers over 50 different tours, workshops, and lectures over the course of five days. Enjoy paddling excursions, wildflower walks, nature hikes, birdwatching tours, nature inspired art and more! Pre-registration for tours is highly recommended. Most will sell out.
