Membership
Open to all who share a passion for birds of prey — you do not need to hunt with a bird to join.
Who can join
Membership is open to anyone aged 18 and over who shares the Guild's aims and values, regardless of gender, ethnicity, background, or ability. Members do not need to hunt with a bird of prey — an interest in their welfare, conservation, or appreciation is sufficient.
