We are the local RSPB group for Gravesend.
 We have a very full programme of events and activities planned for 2010.
We have two series of INDOOR MEETINGS on birds and other wildlife:
Wednesday evening meetings start at 7:45pm and are held at St. Botolph's Hall, Northfleet, Gravesend, DA11 9EX (TQ623741), on the second Wednesday of the
month; admission is £2 including refreshments during the interval.
Tuesday afternoon meetings start at 2pm and are held at Millbrook Garden Centre, Gravesend, DA13 9PA
(TQ618721), on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Admission is £2; refreshments can be obtained at the café.
We also run OUTDOOR MEETINGS at the weekend approximately twice a month and a monthly Tuesday
morning meeting during the spring and summer. We visit bird-watching "hot spots" in and around Kent and
try to ensure that everyone, no matter what their experience, has an opportunity to view and enjoy the birds that we see in an informal atmosphere.
We have regular volunteer work groups that carry out conservation work on the North Kent Marshes and we
also have other volunteering opportunities such as open days, fairs and fetes.
Full details of all of these can be found in our 2010 programme or contact Malcolm.
All of our activities and events are open to all - RSPB members and non–members - and we will try hard to make you feel welcome!
If you would like to find out about some of our past events then look at our newsletters and our news feed
pages.
North Kent is a very busy place! The area is part of the Thames Gateway development project but it also
has areas of high national and international conservation value. The Thames and Medway estuaries and the
adjoining freshwater marshes hold important concentrations of breeding, passage and wintering populations
of birds and other wildlife. The RSPB is a major landowner in the area and has a number of reserves, known
collectively as the North Kent Marshes, from Gravesend to Whitstable. The Gravesend Group, along with the Bexley, Medway and Canterbury RSPB local groups, works hard to support the RSPB in our area.
For more information about our group see the other pages on this website or contact Malcolm. For more
