About us

The group’s aim is to actively support the work of the RSPB in the local community and to involve RSPB members and the wider public in the Society’s conservation, public affairs, education, fundraising and other activities. We offer a wide range of bi-monthly talks from September to May on birds and other nature-related topics.  We also have a busy programme of local walks and day trips (coach, minibus and car) to reserves and other sites that are further away as well as occasional overnight trips (members only).

So if you would like to have fun and meet like minded people contact us and help save nature locally richmondRSPB@yahoo.co.uk We are also on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/richmondRSPBgroup
