We deliver and enable informed nature conservation management for resilient local habitats.
Our site is managed for floral biodiversity, with over 250 different species of plants recorded. We also manage inter-tidal habitats in Deptford Creek, a rarity across the tributary rivers of the Thames.
We provide and enable lifelong learning for all through adventurous, hands-on activities.
Through regular schools and university group visitors we provide fun, outdoor learning for over 4,000 students a year. Through other events and activities, like our open day, we also reach another 3,000+ visitors, all of which we hope to inspire to connect with the wonder of urban wildlife.
We work with and engage with many different groups, communities and organisations with the aim of expanding the reach of our nature conservation and outdoor education ambitions.
This includes working with under-represented groups in the environment sector to collaborating with larger environmental organisations like the London Wildlife Trust.
Join us on our Open Day to learn more about the broad scope of our work!
We engage and support volunteers to join Creekside in achieving all parts of our mission.
We're delighted to have over 35 regular volunteers who support all parts of our work, many of whom will be helping out on our Open Day!
