Askham Bog is a small fenland pocket on the edge of York, gifted to YWT in 1946 by Sir Francis Terry, and one of the most biodiverse acres in the region. Most of its life is invisible unless you sit and wait for it. The reserve is under real pressure from surrounding development and drainage, and this print is one small contribution to preserving its richness for the future.
The 3 colour reduction print depicts 19 species of fauna present at the bog, just a small fraction of the life that relies on this unique habitat.
This print is issued in partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. 40% of the recommended retail price will be donated to Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s Action for Askham Bog campaign, registered charity number 210807.

Each print in this edition is hand-pulled by the artist. Slight variations in ink coverage and gentle embossed marks from the block are inherent to the hand-pulled process and are characteristic of original relief printmaking.
