CEMEX volunteers help at RSPB Baron's Haugh
Volunteers from local CEMEX UK sites and offices spent the day helping to plant over 400 trees at the RSPB nature reserve, Baron’s Haugh, as part of the company’s Lendahand scheme.
The volunteering scheme gives the company’s employees eight hours paid leave to volunteer for a charity or organization of their own choice. Seven volunteers worked hard at the RSPB site to turn over-grown grassland into meadows that offer a more diverse landscape for the wildlife.
This area of the reserve has not been managed for the last few years and the aim is to create meadow paddocks divided into narrow strips with hedgerow, made up of hawthorn, blackthorn, holly, hazel and wild rose. This combination of trees will create a wide diversity of habitat offering food (from the flowers and berries) and shelter as well as ‘corridors’ through which the wildlife can move relatively safely across the meadow.
The seven volunteers were from the CEMEX offices and operations in the local area including the quarries at Hyndford and Cambusmore, and offices in Uddingston.
