Through their hard work, they have transformed the land our facility operates on into a thriving ecosystem where now hundreds of species grow, thrive, and reproduce.

In the past, the Eastern Bluebird population in the United States declined seriously in many areas with loss of habitat and loss of nesting sites. However, thanks to newly formed habitats like our Atlanta Cement plant and others like it, the population has been steadily increasing again. 

“The Eastern Bluebird program at the Argos Atlanta Cement plant  is recognized as meeting the strict requirements of WHC Conservation Certification,” said Margaret O’Gorman, President, WHC. “Companies achieving WHC Conservation Certification, like Argos, are environmental leaders, voluntarily managing their lands to support sustainable ecosystems and the communities that surround them.”
