North Yorkshire's Scorton quarry extracts, processes and sells about 450,000 tonnes of sand and gravel each year. In 2008, Lafarge Tarmac began phase one of an ambitious programme to restore 30 hectares of the site. Since then it has carried out significant work, transforming the landscape and adopting a grassland management programme helping to protect a diverse range of habitats. The firm also delivers an ongoing community consultation programme which has greatly improved public rights of way.
