Act local

Want to take action on climate change? Have issues with airport expansion? Worried about yet another supermarket development? Perhaps you want to whip up support for a proposed wind farm?

Joining a Friends of the Earth local group will unite you with like-minded people, and provide you with the resources, advice and support you need to get active on environmental issues.

Strength in numbers

There are over 200 Friends of the Earth local groups in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man (Friends of the Earth Scotland is a separate organisation).

Friends of the Earth local groups work to improve the environment in their own area, as well as joining in with campaigns nationally and internationally. Find out more about local groups.
