BirdWatch Ireland is the largest independent conservation organisation in Ireland. We are dedicated to the conservation of wild birds and their natural habitats. As a registered charity, we are heavily reliant on support from the public to do this. Your membership fee will go towards the various strands of our work including the management of a network of nature reserves around the country, survey work which gives us a sense of population trends and informs conservation approaches, conservation projects aimed at protecting some of our most endangered breeding birds, environmental advocacy and educational work.
