MPA Quarries & Nature 2015

摘要

The mineral products industry has long been delivering innovative and imaginative high-quality restoration and management of quarries, and is in a unique position to deliver more and contribute to the country's stock of Natural Capital. This was the message from the Mineral Products Association's 'Quarries & Nature 2015 -Building on Britain's Natural Capital' event, hosted by BBC 'Countryfile' presenter Helen Skelton, on Wednesday 14 October at The Royal Society, London, with more than 60 different environmental and conservation organizations in attendance. Taking place on the same day that the Government launched its 25-year Environment Plan, the event celebrated the excellent work Mineral Products Association (MPA) member companies are undertaking by showcasing some of the best examples of quarry restoration and wildlife conservation anywhere in Europe, via the MPA Restoration Awards, MPA Biodiversity Awards (in association with Natural England) and the inaugural MPA Nature Photo competition.
