Green Fire is the first feature documentary tracing the life of the legendary conservationist Aldo Leopold (1887-1948). The father of the national wilderness system, Leopold was a key figure in developing the fields of wildlife management, restoration ecology and sustainable agriculture.
Green Fire was produced by the Aldo Leopold Foundation, the U.S. Forest Service and the Center for Humans and Nature with Wisconsin Public Television as the broadcast partner. The documentary has also won awards at several film festivals, as well as a Silver Telly and a Cine Golden Eagle. A complete list of awards and festivals, along with other information about the film, is available at: www.greenfiremovie.com
