Joining from the USA

Frosty winter walk

If you're interested in becoming a member, but live in the USA, take a look at the Royal Oak Foundation. As our US membership affiliate, they help us continue our work. Members of the foundation receive tax deductions for their support and help the organisation make grants towards our work.

Visiting this winter 

In England and Northern Ireland, our gardens, parks and countryside sites remain open for local people to exercise. Shops, houses and other indoor areas are closed, and cafés are takeaway only. The safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors from the nearby community remains our priority and we urge you to book your visits in advance and stay local. All places in Wales are currently closed. Please check the property webpage before you travel.
