Coronavirus Update

Hello MCSL friends, With the emergence of the coronavirus, we want to make sure we do all we can to take care of our visitors, volunteers and our team. We are putting measures in place to help our community feel comfortable, safe and well, and we would appreciate your support. MCSL has ceased all community engagement activities. Whilst the Centre gate will remain open for people to visit the site, our Visitor Centre and Education Centre will not be open to the public. Centre operations will continue to run behind the scenes supported by a reduced volunteer team assisting with essential duties only. Given the uncertainty of the virus we hope to be back to full operation shortly and we will keep you updated on any changes. We want to assure you that we are currently implementing the recommended safety measures in order to ensure the general health and safety of volunteers and staff at MCSL. The Centre will continue to blossom during this difficult time. MCSL will see you as soon as possible, stay safe. Regards MCSL Team
