Kinver Edge, which is currently woodland, is being restored by the National Trust to its original state of lowland heath.
More than 80% of England's lowland heaths have been lost in the past 200 years, the charity said.
It is likely the heathland at Kinver Edge dates back as far as the site's Iron Age hill fort, it added.
The
area, registered as a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) is
terrain that is an important habitat for a number of plants and animals,
including endangered birds, moths and reptiles.
