Quarry Life Awards
We are delighted to announce that we have been accepted as one of the six UK projects to be entered into the international Quarry Life Awards 2018. The awards are run every 2 years by Heidelberg Cement (Hanson's parent company) for projects in their quarries. This year is the first time community lead entries are being allowed to enter.Our project is a Biodiversity Trail. This self-guided walk will take in a selection of the habitats on site, and link together some of the projects we've undertaken to benefit biodiversity at Tice's Meadow.
New entrance signage, a site map, interpretation panels, waymarker posts and benches will be appearing on site over the duration of the project.
More details to follow in the new year.
