Les Cheneaux welcomes you to celebrate the legacy of Aldo Leopold — one of America’s most influential naturalists — during our festival, May 27-31, 2026. Activities include paddling excursions, orchid and wildflower tours, birding trips, presentations, and many other nature-based activities. Experience the woods and water that formed Leopold’s early impressions of the natural world as we honor the mark he made on conservation and the environment. Local illustrator Katie Elberts has designed the annual poster for the Aldo Leopold Festival for the past 11 years. Festival posters will be available for sale at the Hessel School House while supplies last, beginning in May. A limited supply of past festival posters are also available.
