Longview Operation Hosts Environmental Leadership Program

Longview, AL – June 2025 — Carmeuse Longview Operation welcomed participants from the Cahaba Riverkeeper’s Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) for an immersive day focused on environmental stewardship and career exploration. The ELP, comprised of rising high school seniors and recent graduates passionate about conservation, was accompanied by three Cahaba Riverkeeper staff members.

During the visit, students toured the Carmeuse facility, observed a quarry blast, explored heavy equipment, and engaged with the Mobile Equipment Simulator. The day concluded with a casual pizza lunch and a discussion on sustainability practices.

David Butler, Cahaba Riverkeeper, praised the visit, stating, “I enjoy hearing how Carmeuse is constantly seeking innovative solutions to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact.”

This marks the second consecutive year Carmeuse Longview has hosted the ELP, reinforcing its ongoing partnership with Cahaba Riverkeeper. The organization is dedicated to protecting the ecological integrity of the Cahaba River and its watershed through scientific research and advocacy.
