Conor Jameson will describe his mission to restore William Henry Hudson (1841–1922), from previously unseen letters held in America. He traces the unassuming field naturalist’s path through a dramatic and turbulent era: from Hudson’s journey to Britain from Argentina in 1874 to the unveiling by the prime minister of a monument and bird sanctuary in his honour 50 years later. The story reveals Hudson’s deep influence on the creation of his beloved Bird Society (RSPB) by its founding women, and the rise of the conservation movement.
