Our response to COVID-19 - please read before visiting:
Our nature reserves have an important part to play in helping both people and wildlife over the coming months. This is a difficult time for everyone. We are operating with a reduced staff capacity at the same time as visitor numbers on some of our reserves is increasing. People are understandably trying to find some moments in nature to help their wellbeing and we will do everything we can to support this at the same time as keeping both our staff and visitors safe.
If you are accessing our nature reserves, please adhere to current government guidelines around social distancing.
Thank you!
