Save the date: EF! Summer Gathering 2026 will be 12th-17th August!
Greetings all,
The 2026 Earth First! summer gathering will be from Wednesday 12th — Monday 17th August! Woohoo
Save the date, and let your mates know. We don’t have a region in mind yet, but will announce more info when we can. If you have any site suggestions, feel free to get in touch at earthfirstuk@proton.me (you can no longer reach us at earthfirstuk@riseup.net!)
In the meantime, we hope to see you at the regional winter moots which are being organised around the country as we speak. As dates and locations are confirmed we’ll post them in the website, but at a minimum there will definitely be a moot, somewhere, on the 6–8th February 2026.

Documentary: Indigenous Blockades in Quebec
Check out this new documentary about how indigenous blockades in Quebec defeated a project of law that would’ve handed over the remaining forests of the province to the logging industry. The media is obscuring the fact that direct action got the goods, so we’re trying to get this out fast — boosts appreciated!

Thanks for a Wonderful Gathering :)
Thank you to everyone who came to the 31st Earth First! summer gathering at Brithdir Mawr in Pembrokeshire! We had amazing workshops and delicious food. We talked about the future of Earth First! and the movements we’re a part of, as well as how to smash traps, climb trees, dance danga, raise kids, care for our communities, and keep on fighting for green anarchy. There was that perfect combination of old friends to catch up with, and new ones to make. We were surrounded by nature, including a beautiful mountain which saw lots of walks up it, and a stunning beach which had at least one party. We were joined by some very talented bands who performed some great gigs. We only had one lead acid battery short circuit, and even then it didn’t really catch fire.
This winter, we want to have regional winter moots all over the country. If no-ones doing it in your area, maybe you could! Or if they already are, then why not join in. Hopefully enough places organise one that we won’t need to have an official national moot; but we will make sure something happens 6–8th February 2026, be it a local group or a national moot. Hope to see you all soon!

Save the date: 2025 Earth First! Summer Gathering!

The 2025 Earth First! Summer Gathering will be from 6th — 11th August in Pembrokeshire, Wales! It is a gathering of the radical ecological movement, a chance to catch up with old friends, forge new connections and get stuck in with making ecological revolution a reality. We’ll post more information soon, but you can expect five days of engaging workshops, important discussions, great music, delicious food and living, breathing green anarchism.
The nearest train station is Fishguard & Goodwick, Pembrokeshire. The exact location will be announced closer to the time (it’s a bus ride and then a 40 min walk, or a car shuttle from Fishguard). More detailed travel information is available here
