Join us for our five day Autumn gathering in the woods!
As part of what they're calling their "forward strategy", Scottish Coal have begun the process of closing the circle of open cast mines around the communities of the Douglas Valley by announcing three new open cast applications.
For too long now Scottish Coal, (with the help of rich land owners and corrupt councillors) have been shitting all over the Douglas Valley, causing ill health to the local communities in the area and contributing to climate change. This has got to stop.
The eviction at Mainshill was not an end but just a beginning. We're back to finish what we started. If Scottish Coal want to obliterate what's left of the Scottish countryside, we will obliterate them.
We're calling for affinity groups to come to the site with energy and ideas for action to destroy Scottish Coal's plans.
There will also be the usual skillsharing, including action workshops, information-sharing and opportunities to get involved in the campaign and day-to-day life on camp.
WHAT TO BRING:
* warm clothes, boots and waterproofs, a tent, sleeping bag and mat
* tools for building work and action materials if you can
* most importantly bring yourself and your friends.
FOOD:
There will be communal vegan food for donation, so come prepared to help with chopping veg.
GETTING THERE:
The camp is near junction 12 of the M74, which runs from Carlisle to Glasgow, the nearest train stations are Lanark and Hamilton and there are frequent direct buses to near the site.
Email us or call the site phone if you need a lift from the train station.
