Lawrence Alderson (SE 1959)

Lawrence Alderson has dedicated much of his life to saving traditional native breeds. He was instrumental in the foundation for the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, and since its foundation no British farm animals have become extinct, and many endangered farm breeds around the world have been saved from the brink of extinction. There is little doubt the benefit of his legacy will be felt in many farms and fields across the world.

These men and women see age as life's last great adventure and have chosen to embrace it, regard it as a new and interesting phase of life, full of possibilities, while also accepting the losses age brings with honesty, courage and humour.
