NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2023 / Covia is the responsible steward of over 80,000 acres of land across our footprint. Planning for responsible land use is embedded throughout the life cycle of our operations - from our careful approach to early development and operational planning, to our production phase, all the way through our collaborative reclamation process aimed at protecting, restoring, and nurturing the land and biodiversity.

With this in mind, Covia Mexico Team Members including Environmental Coordinator Abel Oswaldo Cabada Mendoza, began brainstorming ideas about Covia's Canoitas, Mexico site. After months of planning, they recently opened their site's first forest nursery - El Huixachin. Located near the plant, El Huixachin will grow native trees and plants such as huisache, mesquite, guajillo, chapote, and yucca coahulensis.

The planning and establishment of this nursey was no small task. The Team has created a nursery that has the capacity to grow 12,000 plants per year with plans to donate much of the harvest to local schools, gardens, and parks. This initiative aims to contribute to the site's reclamation initiatives, but more importantly, to boost the site's ties with local communities, fostering a shared commitment to environmental stewardship.

Mendoza commented on this great accomplishment saying, "This first stage of the nursery represents a lot for Planta Canoitas and the Environmental Team. We are cultivating a culture of sustainability and aiming to increase interest in conservation practices. We plan to teach species reproduction and planting techniques so that Team Members and community members can replicate these skills in their homes and neighborhoods. This program is a part of our ESG strategy and driven by our core value, Act Responsibly."
