Maine and New Hampshire especially. Having grown up there, the notion that an old quarry, which is basically just a glorified sand pit, should be "returned" to anything at all strikes me as an odd one.

That has happened very successfully in our area. The quarry companies here and the china clay companies in Cornwall have put a lot of effort into restoring the landscape.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.com
