America owes a debt of gratitude to Aldo Leopold for his efforts in protecting America’s wilderness areas and his help in founding the Wilderness Society, which continues his work. We might also consider following his lead in living a sensible life in a small home on its own little piece of nature.

American Bungalow magazine has been preaching Leopold’s philosophy of home life, along with arts and crafts sensitivities, for 25 years. Our readers are individualists, yet they share a passion for artistry and for the authentic. Their industry recycles entire houses, even neighborhoods, and their idea of fast food is a tomato from the garden. Like Leopold, they understand that mankind is a part of the living world and are most at home when they are in touch with nature.

Leopold dedicated his life to the preservation of America’s wildernesses. At American Bungalow, we’re doing all we can to save Leopold’s idea of home.
