We're implementing all government directives around COVID-19 and taking into account the remoteness of our properties to ensure the ongoing health, safety and welfare of our people, including workers and visitors.
Where possible we'll provide opportunities for people to visit safely, but with the expectation that everyone has a role to play in adhering to the government's advice and maintaining the required physical distancing and hygiene practices.
We are unlikely to run any guided visits for the remainder of 2020. But join our staff, volunteers and partners on one of our many virtual tours or information sessions from your very own lounge
Our ecologists and reserve staff are also inviting you to join their world through the lens of their camera as they capture short interesting snippets from life out in the field. They post regularly to our blog, Facebook page and Instagram.
We want to give supporters a chance to visit the properties they generously help conserve, so we open reserves when conservation and safety considerations permit.
Some reserves are open for day trips only. Others have basic camping facilities and each year we offer a number of guided tours. Bookings are essential for camping and guided visits. Please allow up to 48 hours for confirmation.
