Our Environmental Work

Outstanding environmental management is at the heart of the way Pontbren farmers farm.

To date, Pontbren farmers have planted 120,000 trees, all native species from local seed stock to maximise healthy growth and increase biodiversity.

Sustainability at Pontbren: Pontbren has established its own tree nursery where all trees and hedgerows are grown in peat free compost from seeds gathered on the farms. In addition, offcuts and windfalls from trees and hedges can be recycled into bedding for animals.
