Members’ Meetings with Nature Talks
Cookies and coffee will be served at Indoor Meetings (but not Birding Wing meetings). Please bring your own mug if possible to reduce our environmental impact.
The Nature London board has revised its masking guidelines for those attending in person. “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.”
