Martha's Perspective on Nature

Martha sketched these nature images in response to Aldo Leopold's August, September, and October entries in A Sand County Almanac. She researched the characteristics of plant life mentioned in those 3 entries and added quotes of relevance from AL's text.

"We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."

"There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from a furnace."

"Roadside beautification is a far cry from harmony between man and land that Aldo Leopold knew and taught."
