taking a guided tour of the Legacy Center where we’ll hear how solar
power, geothermal, and sustainable building materials have helped this
facility earn the rating of "greenest building in the world." We’ll then
tour Aldo Leopold’s converted chicken shed shack and farm. We’ll learn
about the land ethic Leopold espoused and his legacy as the father of
wildlife conservation. On the return trip, we will stop for a casual
dinner at Stone Cellar Brew Pub in Appleton and arrive back in Sturgeon
