What happens to gravel pits after mining?

We're taking an overview look at how we restore landscapes after mining activities are done. This gravel site has served the local area for decades but is nearing the end of its mining lifecycle. rather than leave the site open, we are working closely with the mine owner to restore exhausted areas of the mine by sloping them to an even grade so reforestation can take place. over the next few years, nature will take its course and the existing trees and grasses will begin to repopulate the mined landscape, and it will eventually appears as if mining never occurred.
.
One principle we always stress to both clients and the public, is how mining activities are an interim use for a landscape. By utilizing proper mine planning, companies like ours can restore landscapes after mining into a variety of uses. weather that be residential development, waterscapes, or just natural forest and grassland restoration.
