Community information

We host community meetings to allow local community representatives, environmental health officers and councillors to share their feedback on our works.

These meetings provide a real opportunity to get involved, understand how the site is run, review our performance and where able improve the way we operate.

The task we face on site is vast and we work hard to minimise the impact of our works on the community.

We need you to get involved and join with us to ensure that we work together to minimise the impact on our neighbours.

Become a friend of Crossness Nature Reserve

Membership of the Crossness Nature Reserve friends scheme allows access to the wildlife sensitive protected area.

This area has a bird hide, a wader scrape, an artificial bat hibernaculum, and a sand martin wall providing ideal wildlife watching opportunities.

The reserve also has a range of open water bodies including a deep water lagoon which attracts large numbers of wildfowl, a wet meadow used by waders in winter and a network of ditches supporting large number of Britain?s fastest declining mammal - the water vole.

Through the friends scheme, we also offer you the opportunity to view wildlife from our boardwalk which weaves through a large reedbed used by a range of warblers.
