Protecting Biodiversity in Davenport USA

For many years, the CEMEX cement plant at Davenport on the North California Coast in the US has been a careful guardian of the coast and over 4,000 hectares of forestland.

The plant implemented a unique habitat conservation plan for threatened California red-legged frogs on its property and is now working to develop a program to protect the dusky-footed wood rat, which was only recently discovered in the area.

The Davenport cement plant is certified as "Smart Wood" by the Rainforest Alliance. This means that the plant's forestry operations meet all of the Alliance's high environmental standards concerning wildlife habitat, endangered species, and fisheries protection. Over 20,000 redwood seedlings are planted every winter to maintain and promote sustainable forestry.

CEMEX's property serves as a vital watershed for Davenport and nearby New Town, providing for their raw water needs from San Vicente and Mill Creeks. Every year, CEMEX supports the Santa Cruz County to improve the community's water and sewage system. The plant recycles waste water in its manufacturing process. A fish ladder system has been installed to enable salmon to migrate from Monterey bay marine sanctuary in California.
