A Sand County Almanac begins with Aldo Leopold's essays on the changing ecology of his farm, near Baraboo, Wisconsin, over the span of 12 months. In the second section, essays about the farm and wilderness in Canada, Mexico, and the United States explain implications of changes in environments. Finally, the book ends with philosophical essays that highlight the need need to conserve and protect the environment, along with Leopold's idea of a "land ethic."
