What happens to a mine site after closure? From underground canoe adventures to innovative water treatment facilities, the possibilities are endless! In this episode of On the Rocks, host Emily King sits down with Dr. Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, founder of Future Terrains International and co-author of "102 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground," to explore creative approaches to mine reclamation worldwide.

Pete shares fascinating stories from his three decades of experience transforming former mine sites, including innovative projects from Germany's lake networks to Appalachia's forest regeneration initiatives. We dive deep into how successful mine closure isn't just about environmental restoration – it's about rebuilding community connections and preserving cultural heritage.
