We take our corporate obligations towards people and nature very seriously. In close cooperation with independent, expert environmental planners and the supervisory authorities, we have created a number of unique retreats for fauna and flora through exemplary recultivation concepts for former mining areas. Our recultivation concepts are also met with great approval by nature conservation associations. NABU: Krauchenwieser Baggerseen NABU: Ornithological Annual Report 2018 NABU: Vogelsee Südsee II In this way, diverse biotope structures were created, which represent important habitats for numerous rare and threatened animal and plant species. Particularly successful examples of our work in the recultivation of our quarries in Baden Württemberg are the closed quarrying areas in our Mengen-Rulfingen gravel plant (Sigmaringen district) and in our Schwackenreute gravel plant (Konstanz district). There, gravel is and has been extracted using wet mining since the 1950s. From these locations, two lake plateaus - the Krauchenwieser lake plateau and the Schwackenreuter lake plateau - have emerged, where rare and partly endangered animal and plant species have settled. For this reason, large parts of the lake districts were included in the contiguous network of protected areas of the European Union, Natura 2000, taken over. But also for people, attractive local recreation and leisure areas have been created here through a large number of walking and cycling paths, numerous fishing spots and two restaurants, which are very well known and popular.
