Biodiversity Net Gain at Raynes Quarry

Biodiversity Net Gain at Raynes Quarry

November 04, 2021
Who knew how much wildlife there is living at Raynes quarry?

You will if you watch this short video featuring our Regional Environmental Manager Sean Cassidy which shows just how much nature creation is going on there.

The large variety of different habitats – scrub, lakes, rockfaces, woodland, grass lands – created on this working site so close together means plants and animals can thrive.  This biodiversity provides a net gain for nature which is what we are aiming for. There are 132 species of wildflower in Raynes alone.

This is just one example among many across our sites and those of the industry.

You don’t have to have a site as impressive as Raynes to think about how to improve what you have got for nature.  Even a small strip of land you can put bee friendly wildflowers on, or a small area you can make into a pond, somewhere you can plant a tree on site.

Set your team a nature challenge and send in any of your nature actions to UK News to help spread the word.
