The 40th anniversary of The Land Institute will be celebrated this year at our 38th Prairie Festival. We will recognize the organization’s achievements over these two score years. It is sure to be an auspicious moment, given that founder Wes Jackson’s last day as president will be September 30 and a new era will begin October 1 when Fred Iutzi, a former Land Institute Fellow, becomes his successor. It will be a different form of celebration. Former Land Institute interns, graduate fellows and post-doctoral researchers will return. So will several former Prairie Festival speakers and board members. We hope you will join the party.
