How comes it to be known the "Aldo Leopold Wilderness Area"?


If I understand the history correctly, he started his career in the
southwest and had something to do with getting the Gila national forest
designated a wilderness area in the 1920's.

Must have been cool to meet his students. I finally got a copy of the Sand
County Alamanac and throughly enjoyed the read. I'm going to be keeping an
eye out for other writings of his.
