Welcome to our new group website
This is the website of the Antrim Local Group. RSPB local groups are a great way to meet friendly, like-minded people in your area while learning more about birds and wildlife.
Our Upcoming Events…
RSPB Antrim Local Group meet in Greenmount Agricultural College on the second Monday of every month from September to May.
Each meeting features a talk about wildlife or nature conservation followed by refreshments.
Start time 7.30pm, admission is £3 per person.
We also go on two field trips each month – on the Sunday after our meeting and on the third Tuesday after our meeting.
