13th - 17th August, Yorkshire, UK. Collective camping in a beautiful setting, for discussion on ecological direct action and all the issues that matter. Opens on Weds night with Rob Newman's new 'Caliban to the Taliban' show. 10 pounds entry, more info on web.

The Earth First! Summer Gathering is the place where people involved in radical ecological direct action – or those who want to be involved – get together for four days of time and space to talk, walk, share skills, learn, play, rant, find out what’s going on, find out what’s next, live outside, strategise, hang out, incite, laugh and conspire.

The gathering is also a practical example of non-hierarchical low-impact living in action.

We are a diverse community with a wide range of approaches to our action, so there should be plenty to interest and inspire everyone whether you have been active for years or are completely new to it all.

Earth First! is not a cohesive group or campaign, but a convenient banner for people who share similar philosophies to work under.

The general principles behind the name are non-hierarchical organisation and the use of direct action to confront, stop and eventually reverse the forces that are responsible for the destruction of Earth and its inhabitants.
