Fourth Reserve

Protect and preserve the Forest Hill to New Cross green corridor through community projects

The Fourth Reserve is a Conservation Trust established in 2016 to safeguard the natural heritage of South East London's New Cross to Forest Hill cutting. We are concerned about one section of railway corridor in Crofton Park Ward and Brockley threatened with development.Our goal is to safeguard the corridor's natural heritage and create opportunities for the community to enjoy the corridor and surrounding area through connecting with nature and with the area's wonderful history

Why the community needs us

We provide the community with inclusive projects enabling them to enjoy nature and improve their well-being. The community can explore local sites and history though heritage walks and we particularly support groups such as school and youth groups who have limited opportunities to access nature.

Our impact on the community

We help a broad range of people in our local area through different activities all of which help elevate the importance of our green spaces and historical landmarks. This work facilitates a connection between the past and the present, the city and the natural environment and safeguards our community heritage.
