Crossness Nature Reserve

[1][4][5][6] At the northern edge of the reserve is a waste management facility owned and operated by Cory.

[10] Scarce plants include Borrer's saltmarsh grass and frog rush, a species that was previously thought to be extinct in Kent.

Between 2005 and 2011 the Belvedere Green Links project saw £1,000,000 spent on restoring Erith southern marsh and Crossness Nature Reserve, including the stable block.

[13] In the early 2020s, Cory announced plans to create one of Europe's largest Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facilities in Belvedere, on a site including 11.7% of the 25.5 hectares of land at Crossness Nature Reserve.

[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] In December 2023, a campaign group (Save Crossness Nature Reserve) and petition was established to oppose the development.
