Holcim UK has completed its environmental restoration project at Newbold Quarry, which has transformed a former aggregates extraction site within an active quarry into a thriving natural habitat as part of its ongoing Nature Strategy. Holcim UK collaborated with ornithologists and local conservation groups, including West Midlands Bird Club, to create optimal habitats for a variety of bird species, including black-necked grebes. The Newbold Quarry Liaison Group formed between Holcim UK and the local community to ensure the quarry didn’t negatively impact the local community and to involve locals in rehabilitation once quarrying was complete. Speaking about the success of the rehabilitation, Kaziwe Kaulule, Managing Director, Aggregates, at Holcim UK, said: “This project demonstrates our commitment to sustainable quarry restoration and responsible environmental stewardship. Holcim UK continues to explore innovative ways to enhance biodiversity, integrate sustainable practices and give back to local communities.
