A Commitment to Experiential Learning

ALAPTO, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization made up of a group of community members that come together to ensure that experiential learning is possible for the students at Aldo Leopold Community School in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Our primary purpose is to raise money to fund experiential learning and create a safe and fun environment that supports students, families, teachers, and staff.

Aldo Leopold

Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) is considered the father of wildlife ecology and a true Wisconsin hero. He was a renowned scientist and scholar, exceptional teacher, philosopher, and gifted writer. It is for his book, A Sand County Almanac, that Leopold is best known by millions of people around the globe. The Almanac, often acclaimed as the century’s literary landmark in conservation, melds exceptional poetic prose with keen observations of the natural world. The Almanac reflects an evolution of a lifetime of love, observation, and thought. It led to a philosophy that has guided many to discovering what it means to live in harmony with the land and with one another.
