Builth Wells Basalt Boosts Tree Planting Success

Check out this report from Channel 4 News that looks at how crushed 0-2mm basalt from our Builth Wells quarry in Powys is helping increase the success and productivity of tree planting while removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.   Our ‘magic substance’ has been trialled in a world-first trial carried out by The Carbon Community, a charity dedicated to creating forests and accelerating carbon removal.   The project assessed the effects of applying crushed basalt to fertilise trees and the fungi in soil that support tree growth as well as capture CO₂ through enhanced rock weathering (ERW).   👀: https://lnkd.in/d98q_CZg Elliot Wellbelove Gareth Day Marius Klein Lucas Steadman DYLAN DAVIES Mineral Products Association #TheCarbonCommunity #HeidelbergMaterialsUK #ERW #Basalt #CarbonReduction #NaturePositive
