As you are now aware, we’ve made the difficult decision to discourage access to our nature reserves because of the Coronavirus (Covid19) pandemic.
Where possible, we will be closing gates and facilities at our nature reserves. However, as they are natural spaces it is not always possible to secure them; particularly where there are public rights of way passing through and wildlife needs to travel safely across our boundaries.
If you live locally to a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve and are accessing it for your daily dose of outdoor time, then please do it with the utmost sensitivity and care, and adhere to current government guidelines around social distancing.
If you witness any vandalism or concerning behaviour during your visit, please report this to us immediately via info@ywt.org.uk. Please note that any necessary repairs and cleaning may not always be immediately possible as the majority of our staff are working from home to ensure social distancing.
Thank you and stay safe, Yorkshire.
