Emily Williamson

Off the Leash Podcasts is proud to publish a series of shortcasts supporting the Emily Williamson Festival.  Emily was a co-founder of the RSPB and an eco-activist before the term was even invented. Taking inspiration from her legacy, modern day change-makers will be exploring the links between Conservation, Campaigning, Science and Art in a weekend of events at Manchester Art Gallery between the 12th and 13th of November.Nicola Chester is the RSPB‘s first and longest-running female columnist, writing for their Nature’s Home Magazine. She has just released her newest book 'On Gallows Down', described as being "about how Nicola came to realise that it is she who can decide where she belongs, for home is a place in nature and imagination, which must be protected through words and actions". In this shortcast, Nicola describes her personal connection with nature and the ever-present need to protect it. She says that we can all find our own way to protest and reads a couple of extracts from 'On Gallows Down' that detail what she has already lost and reminds us all what we still have to lose. Nicola Chester Nature Notes blog and Twitter feedOn Gallows Down (Chelsea Green Publishing, 7th October 2021)RSPB  Website and Twitter feedEmily Williamson Festival Conservation, Campaigning, Science, ArtA statue for Emily Williamson  emilywilliamsonstatue.comShortcast #18 Tessa Boase | The Story of the RSPB's Women Founders
