That's a GREAT book David and I think it belongs. This list (which I thank the OP for starting a while ago), while not exhaustive but comprehensive, has some fantastic pieces and writers listed, and some I think are wholly awful but that's a personal preference. A Sand County Almanac usually gets into one of my tree stands each year, certainly better than the Walden drivel by Thoreau. To me, Leopold's is honest and from the heart, the former is not as has been well documented.
