Friends of the Earth is a leading environmental NGO, concerned with the protection of the environment. It is the largest grassroots environmental campaigning community in the country, and one of the oldest and largest worldwide.

If you are prepared to get stuck into fighting proposals for environmentally damaging major infrastructure, polluting industries and dirty energy developments – and defending community rights to participation in planning decisions- apply now!
