SIX RIVERS REGIONAL LAND CONSERVANCY AND THE US GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL DETROIT REGIONAL CHAPTER have joined forces to raise awareness and participation in preserving the natural resources of the region. On the evening of Jan 30, 2013 at Emagine Theater in Royal Oak they will screen Green Fire, an Emmy winning documentary highlighting the life of Aldo Leopold, one of America’s greatest conservationists.

ALDO LEOPOLD is one of the most influential conservation thinkers of the twentieth century. His writings have become a catalyst for our evolving ecological awareness and a classic in american literature. Green Fire is the first full-length documentary film ever made about the legendary environmentalist. Green Fire provocatively examines Leopold’s thinking, tracing how he shaped and influenced the modern environmental movement. Leopold remains relevant today, inspiring projects all over the country that connect people and land.
