Natural regeneration with limited intervention

To facilitate the establishment of suitably bio-diverse habitats and encourage invertebrae populations, the site will be allowed to regenerate naturally with only limited intervention. Seed will be harvested from species rich semi-improved grassland within the quarry to encourage indigenous vegetation growth.

Improving species and habitat management

In 2005, a specialist environmental assessment was commissioned to record invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, birds and mammals in the region around the existing quarry with a view to improving the management of them and their habitats.

Biodiversity project (Meurthe & Moselle)

The objective and challenge of this biodiversity project has been to include the management of a special area of conservation within the daily activity of the quarry. A NATURA 2000 management plan (in the juridical form of a contract) was signed with the Public Authorities in 2004.
