These are difficult and unsettling times for all of us but we hope that nature can provide a welcome respite in whichever form and wherever you may encounter it.
Following the latest advice, we have closed our reserves. The carparks at Marshside and Hesketh Out Marsh are now closed, along with the hides and toilet.
You can find the RSPB’s latest response to coronavirus on our website here. Our staff and volunteers will be continuing to work tirelessly to save nature on our reserves and through conservation projects and campaigns. More than ever, your support for nature is vital, and greatly appreciated.
Ribble Discovery Centre
In line with the latest Government advice on Coronavirus, the RSPB will be closing the shops, cafes and visitor centres across all our nature reserves, including here at RDC. This is to prioritise the health and welfare of our staff, volunteers and visitors. Fairhaven Lake is open to the public, and will still be available to enjoy. While the shop is closed, our online shop will be open to provide delivery direct to your door for all your wildlife needs.
