About the Program
The Holcim Manitoulin Island Quarry in northeastern Manitoulin, Ontario, Canada, has a conservation objective of reclaiming the site back to its natural state. Habitat creation at Lafarge Meldrum Bay has involved the shaping of landscapes and establishing diverse vegetation on barren ground where mining previously took place. The process involves the extraction of topsoil or overburden before mining, and saves the stockpile to be used in rehabilitation.
