Leopold Legacy Center near Baraboo, Wisconsin will be one of the most energy efficient buildings in the state of Wisconsin when complete in early 2007, and will also be among some of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the country. One of the main reasons the building will be so “green” has to do with an extensive photovoltaic array (a collection of solar panels) that will cover much of the main building’s roof surface, generating enough solar power to help give the building a “net zero” energy budget.
The Foundation is nearing completion of their $7.75 million dollar Land Ethic Campaign (of which the Legacy Center is a major part) to improve land health across the country by expanding the influence of noted conservationist, Aldo Leopold.
