A large area of chalk grassland in east Kent is to be restored to create habitats for key species.

The project will cover 20 acres (8 hectares) of land around Dover Castle and the Western Heights aiming to provide suitable homes for choughs, Adonis blue butterflies, early spider orchids and other flora and fauna.

A mixed-breed livestock herd will be introduced for long-term management through conservation grazing.
