Terenul de cretă ierboasă frumos și rar din Rezervația naturală locală High Meadow a fost extins în timpul 2013/14 de către White Cliff Country Partnership în prima fază a unui proiect finanțat de Loteria Națională inițiat de Consiliul Local al orașului Dover, care deține terenul și speră să-l redea așa cum era în anii 1950. 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 4lea Septembrie 2015.
