You could email them at haringey@tcv.org.uk and hope someone's monitoring their email?

I can't see anything on Haringey's website, and the TCV page for Railway Fields just states "In line with TCV’s position with respect to COVID-19, Railway Fields is closed to the public until further notice."

There are Trust-wide assessments here - https://www.tcv.org.uk/statements-chief-executive - that indicate they are looking at some sort of phased return to working on their locations.

Thanks for the tips, Gordon. I sent them a tweet yesterday, will wait and see whether I get a response by tomorrow and if I haven´t heard by the end of the day I will try with the email address you shared.

Gordon's answer is pretty comprehensive but I should add that social media channels are not monitored daily, so you may not get an answer straight away. 

As far as I'm aware (and this information may change quickly) only invited (i.e. those already signed up as volunteers before the pandemic) conservation volunteers are currently onsite and/or working on outside projects. The plans to re-open to the public are being worked on now. After three months, the site is going to need a fair bit of work (brambles, knotweed, path clearance etc). 

I will post when the site opens as soon as I know anything, but if you get an answer before I do please do share the updated information.

Thank you very much and Liz. I´ve got in touch with them through their website and will make sure I share an update if I find something out.
