Dufferin Aggregates has operated the Milton Quarry behind the brow of the Niagara Escarpment in the Region of Halton since 1962. The next landscape will feature extensive naturalized water bodies with varying shorelines, wetlands, wooded upland margins and slopes, open space and many kms of cliff face. The rehabilitation design promotes a diversity of habitats with many plant and animal communities. The site is already used by many species of birds and other wildlife including over 40 species of breeding birds and 34 species of butterflies. With the help of Scouts Canada more than 41,000 tree and shrub seedlings have been planted over the last 10 years. Two lookout points on site are part of the Bruce Trail Association trail system. They provide a view of the quarry operation and a view of the developing naturalized landscape. This photo taken in 2002 shows the developing ~ 42 ha wetland and landforms created over the last 6 years. (Photo courtesy of Dufferin Aggregates)
