A Tree Protest Camp has been established at Shepton Mallet in Somerset. Its aim is to protect 300 to 400 mature decsidious trees from being felled to make way for a new TESCO store. There is strong local support for the camp. People are needed to help out at the camp. A war memorial is also set to be relocated for the store.

The Camp for Climate Action is a space to: take action against climate change; provide information on climate change and its causes; share and live practical solutions; network with other people campaigning on all the aspects of climate change.

The next meeting for local people interested in getting involved with this summer's climate camp will take place this Wednesday (15th Feb) at 7.30 in OARC (upstairs @ East Oxford Community Centre).

On Saturday, a group of cyclists pissed off with the ever increasing amount of dirty, dangerous and downright ridiculous 4x4s which are accelerating climate Armageddon took to their bikes and donned skeleton outfits to shame 4x4 drivers.

Camp now in it's 24th Year, and in dire need of a breath of life.

Call out for action at Faslane.
The camp has 2/3 full time residents at present, with limited visitors. Granted it's a quiet time of year. But the camp has been in decline for a few years now. Those of us who stay at the camp are trying everything we can to get it back on track.
