Stave Hill Ecological Park is managed by TCV’s Urban Ecology team as a nature reserve, educational facility, research area and place of recreation. The Park has been designed and managed to form a mosaic of grassland, woodland, scrub and wetland habitats which support a wide variety of wildlife.

This mosaic of habitats have been created from scratch by sowing and planting the poor soil. In some places it has been improved or altered by the addition of sand, spent mushroom compost and a variety of mulches. The Park is intensively managed to conserve the wide variety of wildlife that colonised the area during the years the docks lay derelict and provide a haven for some of the species that lived here before humans so changed the land.

Our Office is the Green portacabin behind Bacons College car park (the College Gates are usually closed so it is easiest to walk round). Nearby bus routes are 1, 225 & 381, 395. Stave Hill Ecological Park can be found: Behind Bacons College, Timber Pond Road London, SE16 6AX.

Volunteers are always welcome at Stave Hill. Tasks are fun, varied and will suit all abilities. Children are welcome but must be supervised by a parent or guardian. Tea, coffee and biscuits supplied.

The Stave Hill Volunteers meet on the second Saturday of the month, 11am-3.30pm.

The Stave Hill Regulars meet every Wednesday, 10am-4pm

Volunteers may do a half or full-day. We meet up at the Green Portakabin, behind Bacon’s College.
