Obituary: Nina Leopold Bradley

Nina Leopold Bradley, age 93, died May 25, 2011, at her home on the Leopold Reserve near Baraboo…. Along with her second husband Charles Bradley, she rekindled the “axe-in-hand” philosophy of her father (Aldo Leopold), establishing the Bradley Study Center on the Leopold Reserve along the Wisconsin River in 1976. This work included creation of a graduate ecological research program in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin and expansion of the land restoration and phenological observation that her family had begun so many years ago.
