Turning mined lands into beautiful places: the aesthetics of ecological restoration
What happens to surface mining areas when mining activities are finished? How can these strongly inaccessible places turn into landscapes that actually appeal to people and contribute to their wellbeing? Ecological restoration may be a valuable option.
CESMINE: Towards Positive Post-Mining Legacies
Closed mines are being transformed — some into farms and new woodlands, others into tourist attractions, cultural venues or impressive renewable energy sites. As mine rehabilitation and repurposing are a relatively new phenomenon, little is known about the social and cultural benefits that post-mining sites provide to local and wider communities.
