Cemex is building on its commitment to communities in California by hosting events for nearby students and their families that give them an inside look at certain facilities while teaching them about the company's operations. The company hosts tours at the closed Olympia Quarry near Santa Cruz, Calif., to show the facility's ongoing reclamation efforts. The quarry operated in the Santa Cruz Sandhills Mountains for more than 80 years before ending operations in 2002. Cemex is currently working to invigorate the natural beauty of the land and provide habitat for two endangered species, the Zayante band-winged grasshopper and Mount Herman June beetle.
