Rich array of life

in chalk grassland

Glow worms, butterflies, rare bugs

and birds are among the many species

identified at one of the most ancient

landscapes in the UK. Dozens of

National Trust volunteer rangers have

spent three months unearthing

wildlife and rare archaeological finds

at the stunning and historic sites

across Dorset and Wiltshire.

It is the first time in several years

that this rare chalk grassland habitat

has been so closely monitored.

It is densely populated with plant

species which support a wealth of

bugs, birds and other creatures.

Conservation grazing has been

introduced across some of the historic

sites, with livestock controlling the

spread of more aggressive plant

species. As a result, better conditions

are created for fine grasses and

wildflowers to thrive including

Devil’s-bit scabious, knapweed and

autumn lady’s tresses.
