Welcome to the RSPB Lisburn Local Group

We’re a friendly community of people who care about birds, wildlife, and the natural world around us. Whether you are brand new to birdwatching or already have a passion for nature, you’ll always find a warm welcome here.

Each month we host online talks on a wide range of fascinating topics from garden birds to global conservation stories. So if you are curious about learning new things why not join our next meeting? You’ll not only discover more about the wonderful world around us, but also connect with like minded people and help make a difference for nature in your local community.

Come along, get involved, and share the joy of nature with us – we’d love to meet you!
