Boxley Blog Boxley's Piney River Quarry is a Corporate Habitat Partner

One of the biggest considerations in our decision-making processes here at Boxley is how our actions, products and processes affect the environment around us. Our vernal pools project at Piney River Quarry is a perfect example of how we work to preserve wildlife habit as part of our operational planning.To preserve a vernal pool that was within our mining operation, we worked with two nationally recognized wetlands experts, Boxley employees, and other volunteers to conduct the first known transplant of a vernal pool in Virginia-home to several rare species, including the fairy shrimp and the big-headed mole salamander.
