Welcome to the South East Essex RSPB Local Group

The RSPB is the country’s largest nature conservation charity, inspiring everyone to give nature a home. Together with our partners, we protect threatened birds and wildlife so our towns, coast and countryside will teem with life once again. We also play a leading role in a worldwide partnership of nature conservation organisations. The South East Essex RSPB Local Group supports the National RSPB in carrying out the Society's objectives in the Thames Estuary area.

We have a very active, lively and friendly local group and we are always looking to recruit new members and would welcome anyone wishing to join us. Please contact us to find out how you can get involved. and how to help us raise funds to contribute directly to projects undertaken by the RSPB so that we can support our local and national wildlife and support the 'Giving Nature a Home' campaign.

During our season, which runs from September through to May, we have many events such as indoor lectures, field walks and coach trips that you would be more than welcome to join - take a look at our calendar of events page for details of all of these and more.
