Bob, 07-06-2005 17:47

A gathering to inspire and train all those opposed to the destruction of our planet

Dewch ynghyd i rannu a chasglu syniadau fel y gallwyn amddiffyn ein daear rhag dinistr

Wednesday 17th - Sunday 21st August
Peak District
Phone: 0845 355 0111
 http://www.earthfirstgathering.org.uk/

Earth First! is not a cohesive group or campaign, but a convenient banner to work under for people who share similar ideas. The general principles behind the name are non-hierarchical organisation and the use of direct action to stop, and eventually reverse, the forces that are responsible for the destruction of the earth and its inhabitants.

Since 1992 many of the people under this banner have come together at gatherings to meet, socialise, discuss and organise direct action. This year's gathering will take place in the Peak District. Here, in our first national park, is some of Britain's most spectacular landscape.
