Welcome to RSPB Phoenix

RSPB Phoenix is for teenage members of the RSPB. If you are already an RSPB Wildlife Explorer you will automatically become an RSPB Phoenix member from your 13th birthday.

As an RSPB Phoenix member you will receive BirdLife magazine every two months, and also get Wingbeat – the only environmental magazine written by teenagers for teenagers - four times a year.

As well as articles about wildlife, the environment and conservation, Wingbeat runs many special offers and competitions.

You also have free entry to RSPB nature reserves (and Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust centres with a paying adult) and the sure knowledge that your membership is helping to conserve wildlife in the UK and abroad.

Each year, a conference is held for Phoenix members. In 2005, we held it in London and had the chance to visit Westminster, in 2006 it was at Leighton Moss, Lancashire, one of our most important nature reserves. In 2007, it was Conwy's turn to host the conference and in 2008, it will be at Pulborough Brooks, West Sussex.

This year we are offering the chance for even more teenagers to get involved with the conference, thanks to a grant from the Big Lottery Fund, Awards for All scheme.
