In our Vale Press ” Field of Life” a small grouping of Blackthorn (think sloes!) have self-planted from a nearby hedgerow and are growing naturally into a “spinney” or “thicket”.

Our team will nurture and encourage this growth over the next few years to provide a small dense area of natural protection for birds and wildlife.

And who knows .. future generations may even be picking the sloes for Sloe Gin!

Please consider printing locally with Vale Press and see our communities and environment benefit even more – we have fifty staff at your service running some of the world’s finest printing presses … and getting their hands dirty on their days off!
