High Meadow is a Local Nature Reserve owned by Dover Town Council and managed by the Clogwyni White Cefn Gwlad Partnership. We have worked with I fyny ar y Downs Heritage Lottery Fund Project to facilitate two phases of work. The first saw an area of overgrazed horse paddocks returned to a more appropriate form of livestock management and involved the removal of delapidated structures (as shown in the photo above) and the installation of stock fencing. The second phase extended the area grazed to join Whinless Down. One of the most positive results of the project has been to connect High Meadow, Whinless Down and Nemo Down to form a 62 hectare area of continuous chalk grassland, all of which is on the rural-urban fringe and much of it used for recreational purposes by local people. We are continuing to work hard to promote enjoyable and responsible use of the land by everyone – Up the Downs ran a series of workshops for families and young people including camping skills, work with drones and other fun activities. Good new ideas to get everyone out and enjoying themselves are always welcome – just use our contacts page or see below.
Update – Medi 2017
Mae'r “Dover Connector” newydd wedi dechrau gweithio i agor Gwarchodfa Natur y Ddôl Uchel i bobl leol nad ydyn nhw'n ei ddefnyddio'n rheolaidd ar hyn o bryd. Mae yna gynlluniau ar gyfer ardaloedd barbeciw, Llwybrau haws ar gyfer sgwteri symudedd a chadeiriau gwthio, cylchoedd adrodd straeon a llochesi i'ch cadw'n sych os yw'n bwrw glaw. Rydym yn gwybod bod gallu mynd allan yn yr awyr agored a mwynhau'r amgylchedd naturiol yn un o'r ffyrdd gorau o ddal i deimlo'n iach yn gorfforol ac yn feddyliol. Bydd y Dover Connector yn targedu rhannau o'n cymuned yn arbennig gyda'r anghenion uchaf gyda gweithgareddau hwyliog i wella ansawdd bywyd.
The new Dover Connector will be managed by Kent Wildlife Trust, expanding our partnership of experts looking after the Reserve.
