Nature in Focus: Photographs of North Herts wildlife and landscapes by Brian Sawford

Brian Sawford (1940 – 2020) was a well-known local naturalist and a gifted photographer, who spent much of his long career as Senior Keeper of Natural History at the former Letchworth Museum.  Brian contributed much to the natural history of Hertfordshire through his talks, guided walks and publications. These included The Butterflies of Hertfordshire, Wildflower Habitats of Hertfordshire and Wildlife of the Letchworth Area, all illustrated with his own photographs. The exhibition shows many of the rare and beautiful wildflowers and endangered birds we have on our doorstep and reminds us of the rich biodiversity of the district.
