Welcome to East Surrey Local Group!
The group’s aim is to introduce new members to the RSPB and raise money to help save nature in the south east. We cover the area, going east to west, from the Kent border to Reigate and from the Greater London border in the north to Felbridge in the south. We have an indoor meeting on the second Wednesday of each month, except August. We also arrange monthly weekend field trips by car; some seasonal mid-week half day car trips; and occasional coach outings, including our popular annual visit to Minsmere RSPB in early May.
We have speakers available to give talks to schools, youth groups and community groups by request. For more information about local group activities / events please check our latest newsletter or contact us.
