Restoration & Sustainability – an essential part of TG Group

Back to News

At TG Group, we are committed to operating every area of our business with a sustainable approach and a commitment to care for the environment.

Restoration and sustainability are an essential part of the management of our quarries at Wood Lane, Ellesmere and Cefn Graianog, near Caernarfon.

At Wood Lane, Ellesmere, we have worked closely with the Shropshire Wildlife Trust in establishing a public nature reserve on part of the restored quarry. The award winning Wood Lane Nature Reserve, is home to a variety of birds who find a perfect habitat in the woodland, wildflower meadows, grassland, lagoons and wetland on offer. Here are just some of the photos taken by a Shropshire Wildlife Trust volunteer and employees at Wood Lane.

The award winning Wood Lane Nature Reserve is popular with a wide cross section of the community, including anglers, bird watchers and school children to name a few, as well as attracting visitors from further afield.

With its function as an educational site, the nature reserve hosts hundreds of schoolchildren each year accompanied by Shropshire Wildlife Trust teaching staff. They come to learn about sustainability, wildlife, rocks and minerals, as well as gaining valuable insights into both geography and history.

Spacious bird hides provide the perfect venue for teaching and children enjoy trips around the quarry on a purpose built trailer.
