A project to restore the Iron Age hill fort on top of The Wrekin to its former glory is to be launched next month.
On October 1 people are being invited to join a guided tour of the hill fort with some of the expert team of archaeologists, historians and ecologists who have helped shape the restoration plan.
Part of the hill is eroding and bracken is taking over where there should be heather and bilberry.
Wrekin forest officer Pete Lambert said people power was needed to carry out the work and he was looking for a core of volunteers.
He said: “The Wrekin Hillfort is over 2,500 years old and is showing its age. Over the last two years work has been progressing on the development of a restoration plan for the most visited Iron Age Hillfort in Shropshire.
“The steady erosion of the fragile earthworks and a loss of natural heathland vegetation on the summit of the Wrekin have been an urgent cause of concern.”
Shropshire Wildlife Trust and English Heritage will also be on hand to explain their role in the critical project.
