Local Groups
Local groups are a vital part of our national work and are effective campaign groups in their own right. Our local groups are run by dedicated volunteers, and open to anyone to join. Why not find out if there is a local group near you?
If there’s a Friends of the Earth Scotland Local Group near you, get in touch to get involved in your area.
