in the forefront where this is concerned.” The company
has identified some of those exhausted areas at its
sand and gravel location, and has begun rehabilitat-
ing the site by planting various crops, “such as water-
melon, cucumber, pumpkin, peppers, and 3000 cocoa
trees,” Cook proudly states. “In doing so, we have cre-
ated employment, supplemented the local food sup-
ply, and, hopefully, this business model can now be
adopted by other quarry operators. It’s a pilot project

upcoming months.”
After many years of fitful starts and stops, National
Quarries is on tap to help lead Trinidad’s aggregate
quarry industry into a productive and profitable future.
