The Les Cheneaux area welcomes you to celebrate the legacy of Aldo Leopold, one of America’s most influential naturalists, during this multi-day festival centered on conservation, nature, and the outdoors.
Based in nearby Hessel, the festival features a wide range of activities including paddling excursions, orchid and wildflower tours, birding trips, guided hikes, and educational presentations. Several events will also take place right here on Drummond Island, offering opportunities to explore the island’s unique landscapes and ecosystems.
This festival invites participants to experience the woods and waters that shaped Leopold’s early connection to the natural world, while connecting with others who share an appreciation for conservation and the environment.
Whether you attend for a single event or spend several days exploring, the Aldo Leopold Festival offers a meaningful way to experience this region at its best.
