South Jersey Quail Project: In partnership with the South Jersey Quail Project, Covia's mining and processing facility in Dividing Creek, New Jersey, is actively involved in efforts to protect and restore the habitat of native quail populations. This partnership focuses on creating and maintaining environments conducive to the quails' life cycle, aiming to increase their population and stabilize their habitat in the region.

Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre: Covia's NSO facility in Ontario, Canada, collaborates with the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre and helped secure funding from the Covia Foundation to support the construction and enhancement of an expanded facility. The facility operates a turtle hospital that treats and rehabilitates injured turtles and then releases them to the wild. The Centre also runs a comprehensive education and outreach program. This expansion is designed to create a more robust and nurturing environment for the turtle population to grow, thrive, and ultimately contribute to the local ecosystem.
