Congratulations to the CEMEX UK and RSPB teams for winning the #QN19 Planned #Restoration Award. Jenny Oldroyd NatureRocks Nigel Symes #RSPBAdvice

Congratulations Mary Lane - really delighted for you. Your commitment to the science of #biodiversity #restoration on #quarries shines through your work and studies #QN19

We’re proud to be at the RSPB AGM and members’ day today. It’s an excellent opportunity to talk to people about our #biodiversity work, including the award-winning planned restoration at Divethill! 🌎

Congratulations! Need to get that site visit we talked about at the NatureAfterMinerals #training #course booked in (maybe for spring once the weather warms up a bit!). #QN19

All the inspiring videos from Mineral Products Association Quarries & Nature #QN19 event last week are available at youtube.com/playlist?list=…. Well worth watching them to see the amazing #biodiversity-led #quarry #restorations which were finalists this year.

Update - we have had to #postpone our first three #Training #Courses for 2020 (in May, June & July). Hoping to rearrange for later in the year. At the moment, we hope that our September course can still go ahead. Otherwise we're still here - keep safe & well, and in touch.

Extractive Industry Geology will be hosting a monthly webinar, starting with "UK Minerals Strategy" by David Payne from Mineral Products Association at midday on Weds 17th June - sign up via [email protected] for the #EIGWebinar series - the talk will be followed by a live Q&A on Zoom.

Nature is sending us a clear message: To care for ourselves, we must care #ForNature. At #COP26, the 🌍 will come together to deal with the linked challenges of biodiversity loss and #ClimateChange. 👉 ukcop26.org #WorldEnvironmentDay | #ClimateAction

‘Our economies are embedded in, and not external to nature’. Remarkable to hear this coming from an HMT led review of economics and biodiversity. We need to see this reflected right now in decisions on trade and economic recovery. independent.co.uk/news/business/…

Happening now: "There is a lot of traction within the business community to invest in natural climate solutions – as part of their race to zero.” — María Mendiluce, CEO We Mean Business Coalition (inactive) #ForNature #NatureNow #BuildBackBetter

The quarry sector is ideally placed to help
