Aldo Leopold Shack and Farm, Educational farm and conservation site in Fairfield, United States.
The 264-acre property contains a rehabilitated chicken coop, an outhouse, floodplain forests, marshlands, and restored native prairie areas along the Wisconsin River.
Aldo Leopold acquired this land in 1935 and transformed it into a weekend retreat where he developed his environmental theories until his death in 1948.
The National Historic Landmark designation in 2009 recognizes the site's role in shaping modern conservation principles and environmental education in America.
The Aldo Leopold Foundation maintains the property and provides guided tours for visitors interested in learning about land management and ecological restoration.
The sandy soil conditions of the farm, formed during the Cambrian Period and modified by glaciation, influenced Leopold's writings about environmental preservation.
