COMPANY SUPPORTS THE NEXT GENERATION OF

ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONALS

Randolph Macon—Environmental Research Field Station

At our Doswell Virginia Quarry, the Company has established an ongoing relationship with Randolph Macon College
(RMC) intended to train the next generation of biologists and environmental scientists. In particular, the Company and the
college established an Environmental Research Field Station on Martin Marietta property which is designed to give
students hands on experience with the methods and equipment typically used by biologists and environmental
professionals. Located west of the active plant on approximately 66 acres only 8 miles from campus, the site provides
access to about 1.5 miles of the Little River. The site is located on the Fall Line, and contains a variety of bottom-land and
up-land habitats, including a mature beech/maple forest and a dense stand of young pine.

Professors regularly take students to the Field Station for hands on learning. For example, the Ecology course has set up
trail cameras to learn about modeling wildlife abundance, and the Vertebrate Field Biology course has engaged in stream
sampling for fish and setting up cover boards to study terrestrial salamanders. Students also use the site in their
independent study projects including one that was recently published about sapling growth in relation to tree density. By
helping nuture the next generation of biologist and environmental scientists, the Company helps to ensure that the future
of Virginia’s flora and fauna is protected.
