important information

The health and safety of Natural Lands visitors, volunteers, and staff is our first priority. We are monitoring closely the situation regarding the novel coronavirus COVID-19 and will follow recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health officials. 

Stoneleigh: a natural garden will be closed to the public until further notice due to the staff and volunteer presence required to accommodate guests. All scheduled events through May 15 are cancelled. We appreciate your understanding.

As this situation evolves, Natural Land will update its policies and information on this page.
