Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Lew1s" data-source="post: 3264972" data-attributes="member: 63888">Thanks for the guesses.Having been to a few RSPB visitor centres I suspect that they turn over a fair amount of money - selling goods and food/drinks, encouraging membership, reserve entry fees etc. I was at Vane Farm recently and I suspect that they would have taken a 'few thousand' over the course of that weekend in the cafe alone. Did you want a financial return on your investment into the RSPB? The return is that profits are made that can be put back into the RSPB and be used for conservation.</blockquote>
