Tanah kapur rumput yang indah dan jarang ditemui di Rizab Alam Semula Jadi Tempatan High Meadow telah dipanjangkan semasa 2013/14 oleh White Cliff Country Partnership dalam fasa satu projek yang dibiayai Loteri Nasional yang dimulakan oleh Majlis Bandaran Dover, yang memiliki tanah itu dan berharap dapat memulihkannya seperti pada tahun 1950-an. This first phase involved the removal of dilapidated structures and the installation of stock fencing. Phase 2 requires a further clearing of scrub, rubbish and hazardous materials on the chalk land lying west of Noah’s Ark Road. One of the most positive results of this upcoming phase is that it will connect High Meadow, Whinless Down and Nemo Down to form 62 hectares of continuous chalk grassland much of which will be available for recreational use by local people.
This grassland has existed for hundreds, or even thousands of years and when well-maintained, is one of the most naturally rich habitats for flora and fauna, including many rare butterflies and exquisite orchids. There is an opportunity for qualified undertakings to bid for the clearance work allowing this exceptional land to be enjoyed by generations to come.
The Deadline for Tenders is 12 midday Friday 4ke- September 2015.
