Comments: Allen H. Morgan of Wayland, Mass. was a avid ornithologist, outdoor enthusiast, and environmental advocate. "He was a conservationist long before it was fashionable, and an inspiring public speaker who could galvanize his audience into action. His untiring spirit, unwavering beliefs, and powers of persuasion brought him success time and time again as he rescued thousands of acres of open space from the threat of development." In April 1952, he discovered and collected North America's first Cattle Egret and became a celebrity in ornithological circles. A few weeks later Morgan was contacted by a friend who had attended a local showing of films by Richard Borden, the famed Walt Disney Company wildlife film-maker, and revealed a Cattle Egret was spotted in a film that Borden had shot 5 months earlier. The next day, Morgan met with Borden to confirm the recording, and they subsequently became friends. Borden asked Morgan to write scripts for several of his films, and during this process Morgan became interested in wildlife photography and began to shoot his own films. Morgan also began a campaign to preserve "open space" for people, and habitats for wildlife. In 1953, he organized and help found the Sudbury Valley Trustees, Inc., a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect the flood-plain marshes of the Sudbury River Valley. He passed away in 1990.
