CEMEXUK
Rugeley restoration site
CEMEX UK is the first ever winner of the new Natural England Biodiversity Awards for its restoration work at its Rugeley quarry in Staffordshire. 80 hectares of high quality wildlife habitat has been created and restored to lowland dry heathland, complementing the adjoining Cannock Chase Special Area for Conservation. The site was described by the judges as “stunning”.
The restored area of the Staffordshire quarry provides habitat for priority species such as nightjar, woodlark, tree pipit, adder and hybrid bilberry and by 2032, CEMEX estimates that it will have created over 200 hectares of the nationally prioritised heathland habitat at Rugeley for wildlife to live, breed and thrive.
