The RSPB announced that the shop and cafe at Rainham Marshes will close permanently in January, following a review of 60 nature reserves across the country.
While the visitor centre will remain open for now, its long-term future is uncertain as the RSPB explores its operational management over the next year.
The 'Schools on Reserves' education program, which facilitated school visits and educational interactions, will also be discontinued, signaling a shift in RSPB’s educational approach.
This difficult decision aligns with RSPB's commitment to finding efficiencies for longer-term sustainability, as they work on a new, yet-to-be-detailed education model for 2025.
