The Univ. of Wisconsin - Madison is seeking a new Director for the UW Arboretum. This is a key leadership position for an institution that is important not only to the university education and research communities and citizens of Madison but also to the broad field of restoration ecology who view the Arboretum as the birthplace of their field. The UW Arboretum does have an unusual history (being founded by Aldo Leopold and others) and a distinctive identity (being largely a collection of restored plant communities rather than a set of ornamental plantings). </div>
