COVID-19: stay at home, please do not visit the nation’s forests
The government has told everyone to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.
This is a very sad day for us, as we ask you not to visit the nation’s forests or do anything that would put the emergency services under extra pressure.
Make sure you have read and understood the government’s new rules on staying at home and away from others.
Travelling can only be to and from work, where work absolutely cannot be done from home.
Stay at home
- Only go outside for food, health reasons or essential work
- Stay two metres (6ft) away from other people
- Wash your hands as soon as you get home
Anyone can spread the virus.
