What we do
Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland has been campaigning for over 50 years to protect our beautiful planet.
From ending fossil fuels to protecting our precious wildlife, we’re here to preserve our stunning natural world now and for generations to come.
We’re also the largest grassroots environmental campaigning community in the UK, made up of over 140 groups. These groups are run by thousands of volunteers from all types of backgrounds, including teachers, nurses, lawyers, students, grandparents and more. They bring people together to improve their local environment, and fend off polluting and unjust proposals.
We lead campaigns, provide resources and information, and drive real solutions to the environmental problems facing us all.
