Better than We Found It: How Mining is Reshaping Biodiversity & Reclamation
Listen now
Description
What happens after a mine site closes? We all know mining disrupts land, so proper land reclamation is a critical part of the process. Modern mining companies aren’t just cleaning up after themselves. The goal is to leave an area better, stronger, and more diverse than they found it. We talk to Carleigh Whitman, Director of Environment at Teck Resources, about how the industry prepares a site for restoration long before it's mined, and how that process continues to evolve to meet local and global climate goals. Additionally, Daniel Desjarlais, Sales and Marketing Manager at Twin Sisters Native Plant Nursery, reveals why planting native plants and flora is the best thing for former mining sites...and why the days of spreading grass seed and planting conifers are officially over. It's time to hear how we're making the world better than we found it...one seedling at a time!
