The company\u2019s employees helped place rocks and gravel in the river to improve natural spawning conditions for sea trout and salmon. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the future Hexest plant will be built near the Piirsalu River, the company considers it important to learn about the local natural environment and community. Hexest employees participated in the restoration work alongside nature conservation experts to better understand the river\u2019s ecosystem and contribute to the preservation of local biodiversity. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there was no opportunity to meet and get to know the residents of Piirsalu village during this event, we look forward to connecting with the local community in the future and learning more about the people who call this region home.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs our future plant will be located near the Piirsalu River, we believe it is important to understand both the local natural environment and the community. This was a valuable opportunity to see firsthand how river biodiversity is protected and restored, while also making our own contribution,\u201d said Randel Veerits, Chairman of the Management Board of Hexest Materials. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1716\" src=\"https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-1536x1029.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-2048x1373.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-600x403.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-900x604.jpg 900w, https:\/\/hexestmaterials.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_53001-edited-400x269.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, the entire Hexest Materials team participated in a volunteer workday on the Piirsalu River in collaboration with the Estonian Nature Conservation Centre\u2019s LIFE WetEST project, during which new&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
