Green Fire is the first feature length (72 min.), high definition documentary film ever made about famed conservationist Aldo Leopold. Emmy-Award winning narrator Peter Coyote lends his talent as the voice of Aldo Leopold.
"Aldo Leopold is one of our nation’s most beloved nature writers," says environmental historian Susan Flader. "His A Sand County Almanac, published posthumously in 1949, has become a catalyst for our evolving ecological awareness and a classic in American literature." Leopold is regarded by many as one of the most influential conservation thinkers of the twentieth century, and the film highlights the ways his legacy continues to encourage us to see the natural world "as a community to which we belong."
The West Michigan Cluster of the Stewardship Network is a diverse group of private and public organizations dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and management of Michigan’s natural land and water. The West Michigan Cluster’s goal is to teach people how to be better stewards of the land, whatever their level of expertise.
