Our response to the Coronavirus
The Trust has taken steps to help limit the spread of Covid-19. We have cancelled all forthcoming events and have closed our head office and centres. We have temporarily reduced our staff number by 40% so it may take slightly longer than normal to deal with requests and enquiries.
Please note that we have also closed all of our car parks and may need to close part/all of some nature reserves to protect the safety of our staff working on site as well as the public.
We thank you for your patience and are grateful to our members and supporters for your ongoing commitment to the Trust.
