Joint meeting with CWT, the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall and Cornwall Geoconservation Group.  The talk will focus on the work of the RSPB’s Nature After Minerals programme https://afterminerals.com/ . Cornwall has hundreds of abandoned and disused quarries. Overall in England there are over 2,000, covering 64,000 hectares, that have planning requirements to restore them after quarrying has been completed. Appropriate and sustainable minerals restoration represents potentially the biggest terrestrial habitat expansion opportunity across large swathes of land in the UK.
