Shortcast #41 Mary Colwell | Emily Williamson Festival
Show Notes

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 (NB the event was 12 - 14 Nov, but has now been shortened).

"Find the humanity in the midst of the conflict".
In this shortcast, award-winning author and campaigner Mary Colwell talks about what she learned when she set out to experience curlew decline, and what inspiration she has taken from Emily Williamson about changing hearts, minds and the status quo.
