Last week I was talking to an RSPB member at RSPB Saltholme from North Yorkshirewho was on holiday in North East England and we started talking about wildlife and bird consevation. But to cut this short he informed me that at. RSPB reserves Fairborn zings and St Aidans in North Yorkshire which has lots of public footpaths and so of couurse free admission for everyone, but has always had car park charging at both reserves for non-members. RSPB members who had to display there membership card on the inside of there from car windows. Now members have to scam there membership cards on the pay and display ticket machines to get there free car parking ticket. Nothing has been mentioned to me about this Has any other RSPB members been to either of those two RSPB reserve. I was there by coach in September 2023. I don’”t know when that started. But I’m only taken that RSPB members word I believe him! Unless I hear otherwise!
Regards,
Ian.
Hi Thomo, at RSPB Sandy you now have to scan your card for a free members parking ticket to display in your car. It has been like this since earlier in the year.
Yes, you need to get a special ticket (for free) from the ticket machines at both reserves. This has been the case for several years.
