Back to Nature
“We abuse the 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.” ----Aldo Leopold, A Sand county Almanac.
We're getting back to nature in this episode of Discover Wisconsin, and we start at a foundation in Baraboo committed to bringing the environment back to it's natural roots. Founded by Aldo Leopold's five children in 1982, The Aldo Leopold Foundation is a conservation organization that works to inspire an ethical relationship between people and nature, and continues to foster this land ethic through the legacy of Aldo Leopold. We get to be a part of just a small number of the many great programs they have at the foundation; including their Learn-to-Hunt programs and an introduction to their Prescribed Burn trainings. Host Mariah Haberman takes a walk through the grounds with Leopold fellow, conservation biologist, historian, and writer Curt Meine, who gives some key insight into Leopold's work and his final day of protecting the land. And before we leave Baraboo, Mariah goes for a ride out to the foundation's blind to see the annual Sandhill Crane migration.
Nothing gets you out and into nature like hunting in Wisconsin. The Discover Wisconsin crew goes hunting with a range of hunters who each give their perspective on why they hunt. From deep rooted family traditions and love for venison, to population control and wanting to know exactly where your meat came from, there's a lot to learn when it comes to the benefits of hunting. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources offers many excellent programs to teach, instruct and get more people hunting all over the state, as well as cooking up delicious meals. Mariah heads back to Baraboo one last time for a DNR sponsored instructional on how to cook the meat once you've harvested it, lead by R3 Coordinator, hunter, writer and cook, John Motoviloff.
When was the last time you took a moment to appreciate your environment in this great state? Well we’ll be giving you more ways than one, as we get back to nature.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Wisconsin ( (listen)) is a U.S. state located in the north-central United States, in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. Wisconsin is the 23rd largest state by total area and the 20th most populous. The state capital is Madison, and its largest city is Milwaukee, which is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The state is divided into 72 counties.
Wisconsin's geography is diverse, having been greatly impacted by glaciers during the Ice Age with the exception of the Driftless Area. The Northern Highland and Western Upland along with a part of the Central Plain occupies the western part of the state, with lowlands stretching to the shore of Lake Michigan. Wisconsin is second to Michigan in the length of its Great Lakes coastline.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, a large number of European settlers entered the state, many of whom emigrated from Germany and Scandinavia. Like neighboring Minnesota, the state remains a center of German American and Scandinavian American culture.
Wisconsin is known as America's Dairyland because it is one of the nation's leading dairy producers, particularly famous for its cheese. Manufacturing, especially paper products, information technology (IT), cranberries, ginseng and tourism are also major contributors to the state's economy.

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Around Madison (#809)
[Original Airdate: February 28, 2019]
The capital of Wisconsin can’t be covered in one episode, so we neglected some great things in Madison when we were there in 2012. We didn’t include the UW Arboretum, Olbrich Botanical Gardens, the Henry Vila Zoo, the Dane County Farmers Market and Mickie’s Dairy Bar. Consider those oversights rectified!
But we like to include the unexpected, too. You may have been to Camp Randall, but probably not to the kitchens down below. You may have walked on Observatory Hill, but were you aware that you were walking on ancient effigy mounds? Have you ever heard of Yumbutter, or talked with an elite swimmer or toured the Capitol with the longest serving legislator in the nation? And even if you’ve taken a tour of Wisconsin’s Executive Residence, we guarantee that you weren’t taken behind the scenes like John was.
Apparently Madison can’t be covered in just two episodes either, but you’ll enjoy this one for sure!
