Emily Williamson founded the RSPB
It is no flight of fancy. Councillor Andrew Simcock is to cycle 400 miles to help raise £100,000 for a statue. And he does have a successful track record when it comes to campaigning for women from Manchester who changed the world to be honoured.
Their disgust was at the mass slaughter required to satisfy the fashion for exotic feathers to decorate women's bonnets. Beautiful, vibrant birds, like the great crested grebe, kingfisher, heron the great and little egret, and owls, native to the UK, were in the sights of hunters for their attractive plumes.
Emily Williamson is one of Manchester’s most important women in history and yet few have heard of her. Her actions were critical in saving thousands of bird species around the world from being hunted to extinction.. Andrew’s cycle ride will take him to eight RSPB reserves in the six counties of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Lincolnshire, beginning July 23rd and finishing Wednesday August 2nd. He will take one of the bronze maquettes with him to display for visitors to see.
