The Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute, part of the US Forest Service, hosts research fellowships for scientists studying wilderness character, ecological integrity, and visitor use management in protected areas. The programme honours the legacy of conservationist Aldo Leopold, whose 1949 work A Sand County Almanac laid the intellectual foundations of the modern environmental movement. Fellows work at the Institute's facilities in Missoula, Montana, and conduct fieldwork at wilderness areas across the United States and internationally.
