Stave Hill Ecological Park

Stave Hill Ecological Park is a 5.2-acre nature area located on the site of Stave Dock in the centre of the former Surrey Commercial Dock, a few minutes walk from historic Rotherhithe and just over the river from Canary Wharf.
The park is managed by The Conservation Volunteers as a nature reserve, educational facility and place of recreation. It has been designed to form a mosaic of grassland, woodland, scrub and wetland habitats which support a wide variety of wildlife.
The park team work hard 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 changed the land. Today, Stave Hill offers an incredibly rich natural habitat and a truly magical site for Forest School training.
The training venue is a 10-minute walk from both Canada Water station (Jubilee Line) and Surrey Quays station (London Overground). There is also limited parking in the local area.
