Ripple Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Dagenham, United Kingdom.
The 10.1-hectare reserve contains various ecosystems including woodland, scrub, and grassland areas that support different wildlife populations throughout the year.
The land transformed from an industrial dumping ground for pulverised fuel ash into a protected nature reserve managed by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
The Parks and Countryside Ranger Service conducts educational programs and nature walks for local residents to learn about the reserve's plant and animal species.
Visitors can access the reserve at the intersection of Renwick Road and Thames Road, with opening hours from 7 AM to 6:30 PM during summer months.
The alkaline soil composition, resulting from previous industrial use, enables specific plant species like pyramidal orchids and grey club rush to grow naturally.
