Why join the RSPB?

Gannet and chick on Bass Rock

We speak out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environment.

Nature is amazing, and when you become a member you are joining over a million other people who are helping us keep it that way.

Most members aren't 'bird experts', but ordinary people united by a desire to see birds and other wildlife flourish in their natural habitats.

As a charity, we rely on the suport of members to continue our work protecting birds and wildlife.

Here are some examples of what we do with the support of our members:

Saving birds and wildlife

We:

  • campaign on behalf of birds and the environment
  • protect, restore and manage habitats for birds and other wildlife. 
  • research the problems facing birds and the environment. 
  • carry out recovery projects for many threatened species. 
  • help tackle international conservation issues through BirdLife International - a global partnership of conservation organisations.

Inspiring people through nature

We: 

  • try to help everybody to enjoy the natural world and learn more about it. 
  • are active across the UK at national, regional and local levels - our work helps protect your environment.

Saving and creating special places 

We:

  • own and manage nature reserves where wildlife can flourish and people can get closer to nature.

What's in it for you?

As well as supporting vital conservation work, membership also brings you some great benefits, such as our exclusive magazine packed with information and fantastic pictures, and a free feeder or bird handbook.
