Their owners are the National Trust after they received it in a will in 1932. A collective of people interested in becoming caretakers at no cost to the National Trust moved in. This is their story.

Voices from the Camp for Climate Action

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 16:19 GMT

Climate change is now a reality. Leading scientists across the world agree that in a ’business as usual scenario’ we have no longer than 10 years to prevent 2-3 degrees of additional global warming that will lead to irreversible climatic changes with dramatic consequences for our planet.

However, in a world driven by profit and committed to unlimited economic growth, humanity seems very unwilling to change the course of the fossil fuel economy.

In the summer of 2006, the 5th hottest year ever recorded in recent history, 600 people convinced that there is no time to waste set up a Camp for Climate Action in the shadow of one of the biggest C02 emitters in Europe: Drax coal-fired power station in Yorkshire / UK.

With over one hundred workshops on a wide range of topics, the 10 day camp was a space of collective learning, sustainable living and taking direct action on the root causes of climate change. The gathering that showed practical low energy solutions in action, culminated in a day of protest and mass direct action in an attempt to shut down Drax.

You've got to be choking!

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:32 GMT

The battle to save 400 trees and 1000 homes from the bulldozer. The building of the M11 link road in East London sparked a massive direct action campaign which galvanized thousands of people to live in trees, squats and even tunnels. The evictions brought thousands of Police and private armies onto the streets. But humour always ruled the day.

Polar Bears Populate Welsh Coal Mine

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 04:50 GMT

More than thirty climate activists and local residents took mass direct action to prevent excavation work on Britain's biggest ever open-cast coal mine at Ffos-y-fran in South Wales. Climate campaigners from all over Wales joined with local people from Merthyr Tydfil to evade police and security. They've pledged to prevent work on the site for as long as they can by climbing onto, and chaining themselves to the 1,300 horsepower yellow diggers. “Gordon Brown's officials this week jet off to Balifor UN talks on cutting carbon emissions but at home they're trying to drag us into a new coal age.” “Coal is the filthiest fuel known to man and projects like this mine could destroy all our chances of tackling global warming. The battle over this hilltop in Wales is a fight for the stability of the global climate and it epitomises this government's hypocrisy on climate change.”
