There is a $20 fee to apply but it looks like an amazing residency:
The Aldo and Estella Leopold Residency provides a space for writers and respected thinkers to reflect and write about the relevance of Aldo Leopold’s ideas to 21st century cultural and environmental issues. Two of our summer Residencies are based at historic “Mi Casita,” Aldo and Estella’s first home in Tres Piedras, New Mexico, and a third July Residency is located at a small casita on the Galisteo Basin. The Residency is for writers who are committed to reshaping the cultural story about the relationship between humans and Nature. In 2026, the Leopold Writing Program celebrates the 14th anniversary of this influential residency.
