What’s in a name…

In A Sand County Almanac, conservationist Aldo Leopold wrote of a "fierce green fire" in a wolf’s eyes. Leopold had just shot the wolf while surveying public lands in the American Southwest, a custom of the early 1900s. But Leopold immediately had second thoughts. "I was young then and full of trigger-itch; I thought that fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view," Leopold wrote.

In 1989, Karen Anspacher Meyer and Ralf Meyer founded Green Fire Productions, a non-profit video production company that strives to draw upon Leopold’s wisdom – to restore the green fire to the wolf’s eyes, and to inspire people to restore balance to our treatment of the land, other creatures and each other.
