Maidstone Local Group welcomes you
We are the RSPB local group for the Maidstone area. RSPB local groups are a great way to meet friendly, like-minded people in your area while learning more about birds and other wildlife.
Upcoming events
Everyone is welcome at our talks and on our trips, no matter whether you are a beginner or expert. Help will always be given in identifying birds.
Please remember to take your membership card with you when visiting RSPB reserves. Non-members will have to pay the normal entrance fee.
