UW-Madison Winter Enrichment series, founded by Aldo Leopold students, in its 50th year

The UW-Madison Arboretum began its 50th annual Winter Enrichment series in January. The event began in 1968 when professors from Wildlife Ecology, such as Joseph Hickey, Robert McCabe, and Robert Ellarson (who were graduate students under Professor Aldo Leopold) gave weekly winter presentations to Arboretum naturalists in an old Civilian Conservation Corps barracks.
