Urban Nature Reserve
The Fourth Reserve Foundation manage the Buckthorne Cutting Nature Reserve & campaign to protect and preserve the Forest Hill to New Cross Railway Cutting. We are also involved in other local community projects to bring nature into urban spaces.
The Buckthorne Cutting Nature Reserve is a wildlife sanctuary and nature refuge in the heart of South East London. It was founded by and looked after by the Fourth Reserve Foundation.
Located between Crofton Park SE4 and Honor Oak Park SE23, Buckthorne Cutting is used as a resource by schools and local community groups for nature themed purposes. It is also open to the public on open days, volunteer workdays and events.
