Cemex host Oxford University Field Trip

Cemex host Oxford University Field Trip

March 23, 2023
On a very cold March morning at Eversley Quarry in Hampshire, Cemex’s planning team and the RSPB hosted 23 students from Oxford University’s MSc Biodiversity, Conservation and Management course along with their lecturer Chloë Strevens.

Planning team members Mark Kelly (Planning Manager), Alison Wise (Landscape Architect) and Heather Lealan (Planner) along with the RSPB’s Catherine Cullen and Mick Slater - Chair of the Eversley Sports Association, spent the morning with the students, talking about Cemex UK’s quarrying restoration legacy for Eversley Quarry on the Berkshire-Hampshire border. 

The fieldtrip provides the students with a great opportunity to see for real, how the partnership between environmental agencies – such as the RSPB and Birdlife – and industry work to preserve and protect the natural environment. The site visit creates a brilliant example for many of the topics taught on the MSc course – from licence to operate, to community liaison, to flagship species.
