Join Matt Hayes as he explores the life of Leonard Jenyns, 19th century naturalist and friend of Charles Darwin. The Museum holds Jenyns’ collections and his detailed notebooks of observations of Cambridgeshire wildlife. This talk gives a fascinating glimpse of local habitats almost 200 years ago and compares them with what we find there today.
