I finally get why old quarries matter for the environment

I always saw them as wasted land, but a tour of a reclaimed site showed how they support local ecosystems. It's cool how geology can bounce back with a little help.

The creek behind my old school got green again last year.

What's the most surprising way you saw the ecosystem recover? Always figured they stayed barren pits, but that bounce-back idea is new to me. Makes you rethink other industrial sites too.
