Sanders
Quarry
In 1990, our Sanders Quarry near Warrenton,
Virginia became the first site in the nation to be certified
by the WHC as a sanctioned, enhanced habitat on corporate
land. Twenty-seven of our sites have become certified habitats
and another 13 are in process. (We have more certified wildlife
habitats than any other company in the nation.) Our neighbors
and employees work together to monitor and maintain these
areas.
Brooksville
Quarry
The Brooksville Quarry in Florida has erected
nest boxes, platforms and sunning poles for eastern bluebirds,
American kestrels, purple martins, ospreys and wood ducks.
Employee volunteers manage 40 acres as a food source and cover
for wildlife. Ospreys feed on fish in a pond created from
an old quarry, enhanced with native vegetation. The site also
has two butterfly gardens and a planted native meadow.
Grayson
Quarry
Georgia 's Grayson Quarry has designated
550 acres of its 750-acre site to wildlife. Plantings provide
improved habitat for ducks, birds, butterflies and bees. The
nearby Stockbridge Quarry has 240 acres of wetlands, woodlands
and open fields.
Gold
Hill Quarry
The Gold Hill, North Carolina site is home
to beavers, river otters, wild turkeys, American kestrels,
deer and bobcats. Nesting structures built by local Boy Scouts
attract bluebirds, killdeer and other native birds.
Uvalde
Plant
During a recent drought, employees
at Uvalde, Texas added hummingbird feeders when local hummingbirds
could not locate natural food sources.
