🌿 Nature recovery in action! Last week, we visited our Schansheide quarry in northern Belgium, a powerful example of how restoration and operations can go hand in hand. In partnership with Natuurpunt, this former extraction site is now home to heathlands, wetlands, and thriving birdlife 🐦💚 #WeAreSibelco #Sustainability #Biodiversity #NatureRestoration #PartnershipsForThePlanet #Rehabilitation #CircularEconomy #QuarryLife
Today we visited Schansheide - an active Sibelco Group quarry site in northern Belgium that has been undergoing restoration for years. Roughly the size of 48 football fields, the site is now a mosaic of heathland, grassland, deciduous and coniferous forest, wetland, and mudflats. Our Flemish Partner Natuurpunt has been leading the restoration work and this collaboration is a brilliant example of how businesses and nature can thrive side by side. The mudflats here are particularly striking. Created using leftover slurry from the quarry itself. These shallow, nutrient-rich wetlands provide vital habitat for a range of wetland birds, including Lapwings, Little Ringed Plovers, Common Sandpipers and other migratory species. During our visit, we were lucky to spot Honey Buzzards, Peregrine Falcons, Kestrels and Common Buzzards soaring overhead, a clear sign that restoration efforts are paying off. This is nature recovery in action: practical, collaborative, and full of life 💚 #restorenature
