高原上是多佛鎮議會擁有和管理由本地自然保護區 白崖鄉村 合作夥伴關係. We have worked with 截至上高地 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 (如上圖所示的照片) 和股票擊劍安裝. 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羽絨及尼莫而下，形成 62 連續的白堊草原公頃的面積, 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 – 九月 2017
The new “Dover Connector” has started work to open up the High Meadow Nature Reserve to local people who do not use it on a regular basis at the moment. There are plans for barbeque areas, more easy paths for mobility scooters and push chairs, storytelling circles and shelters to keep you dry if it rains. We know that being able to get out in the open air and enjoy the natural environment is one of the best ways to keep feeling physically and mentally healthy. The Dover Connector will be especially targeting the parts of our community with the highest needs with fun activities to improve quality of life.
The new Dover Connector will be managed by Kent Wildlife Trust, expanding our partnership of experts looking after the Reserve.
You can contact the Dover Connector at Kent Wildlife Trust through the Town Council offices on 01304 242625 by e-mail at council@dovertowncouncil.gov.uk or by calling into our offices at Maison Dieu House (旁邊的大會堂), Biggin St, 多佛CT16 1DW.
