- Abstract
The article features the Legacy Center of the famous conservationist Aldo Leopold located in his farmland in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The Aldo Leopold Legacy Center received the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification as the highest rated LEED building in the world. This dilapidated farmland of the Leopolds was converted to a thriving landscape of conifers, hardwoods and prairie as they planted the seeds of sustainable development. The two dominant goals for the legacy center focused on the materials used for construction and the consumption and production of energy.
