Minerals sites are often ideal for creating wildlife habitats such as wetlands, heath, grasslands and woods.
The Nature After Minerals Programme is a new partnership between Natural England and the RSPB. The two organisations are working with mineral planners and industry to help nature after minerals. Together, we will make substantial contributions to the habitats and species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets and provide richer places for people to enjoy.
