As well as a writer and artist, Potter was also a natural scientist, farmer and conservationist in the Lake District, bringing to light the places, people and animals that inspired some of her characters. As a young girl, Potter would study and record a wide variety of animals, birds and insects in her homemade sketchbook.<\/p>\n
