Yesterday was World Wildlife Day.

The United Nations World Wildlife Day is celebrated every year on 3 March to celebrate wild animals and plants. This year's theme ( ) is Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation.

Portals is a responsible business and actively contributing towards a better future. As part of our commitment to sustainability and the future, we have both a desire and an obligation to protect our local environment.

Bathford Paper Mill is located in a beautiful rural village just outside the historic town of Bath, in Somerset. The site itself, its neighbouring countryside and nearby riverbanks, are all home to an abundance of wildlife.

We recently set up a Nature Watch initiative on our grounds, with cameras installed along the river to capture some of wildlife in their natural habitat. We have also managed to snap a few of the visitors to the fields and grasslands surrounding the mill too. A few of these photos are as below.

We are immensely proud to know that the home of cylinder mould watermarking is also home to many beautiful animals and wildlife as well.

Many thanks to Sebastian Laird, our EHS Manager, for the photos!
