Land Management & Biodiversity
We are the responsible steward for over 80,000 acres of land across our footprint. Planning for responsible land use is embedded throughout the life cycle of our operations – from our careful approach to early development and operational planning to our production phase, all the way through our collaborative reclamation process aimed at protecting, restoring, and nurturing the land and bio-diversity. Over the decades, we have helped restore a wide variety of ecosystems including wetlands, forests, ranchlands, shorelines, prairies, and more.
Approach
Our work in protecting the natural environment is a company-wide effort, and our approach to responsible land management is highly localized and targeted to the unique needs of our sites’ respective communities. Due to the nature of our business, some Covia operations are in high-sensitivity biodiversity areas. We recognize that it is of upmost importance to protect and conserve the natural environments where we operate, and we have multiple initiatives in place to minimize our footprint.
