  • Health Guidelines for Nature London Events

    For all events:

    • As a courtesy to others, please do not attend if you are feeling unwell. 

    When attending meetings inside the London Civic Garden Complex (Indoor Meetings, Birding Wing meetings):

    • Each person attending must register separately using the same name and email address associated with your membership. This will facilitate contact tracing in the event of any illness reported after the meeting.
    • Masking is no longer required at Nature London indoor meetings but encouraged, particularly for those individuals who are at higher risk for infection. We remain mask friendly. Please refrain from attending indoor meetings if you are currently experiencing an infection or illness, particularly an upper respiratory tract infection.
