The charity's Director General Hilary McGrady said:
"We follow Government advice and guidance at all times, in each of the nations we serve.
"We know how important access to green space, nature and fresh air are to people, and we'll do everything we can to provide them during the next phase. Our priorities will remain the safety and well-being of visitors, staff and volunteers."
