Stave Hill Ecological Park was created in 1986 on land administered by the London Dockland Development Corporation. It is the successor to the William Curtis Ecological Park, the UK's first urban ecology park, set up in 1977 near Tower Bridge by the Trust for Urban Ecology. TRUE subsequently merged with BTCV, now the Trust for Conservation Volunteers (TCV), who now manage the site for Southwark Local Authority.

Design and printing was made possible by a Community Engagement grant from the United St Saviour's Charity, which has existed in the North of Southwark since at least 1541. USTSC aims to improve the lives of local people and strengthen their communities by providing almshouses for older residents and through its grant-making program.
