The restoration of the quarry is a continuous activity which coincides with the excavation process. In the locality of Clastra, between the municipalities of San Pietro al Natisone and St. Leonard, the area has been restored with grasses and planted chestnut, apple, pear, plum trees. This plantation structure is typical of the ancient cultivation in the valleys of the Natisone. In the fenced area (60 hectares) a flock sheep are allowed to graze free.
Each year the Julia Marbles hosts a regional civil protection event and all from the surrounding communities are invited for, a day in the forests of the quarry, where you can pick mushrooms and chestnuts, benefiting from the prepared comfort foods and wines prepared by volunteers.
