Welcome to the web page of Monmouth & District Friends of the Earth Group

Page updated 13th Dec 2011

We are one of a large number of local Friends of the Earth Groups throughout the UK, whose members want to make a positive difference to where they live.  We started in summer 2005.  We have been active in a number of campaigns locally, including re-establishing a Farmers' Market in Monmouth (now sadly closed, three Green Travel Days, and waste and recycling issues.  During 2011 we have opposed the principle of incinerating residual household waste from Monmouthshire together with the groups from Abergavenny & Crickhowell and Chepstow.  We have worked closely with Transition Monmouth on a project to install PV panels on Monmouth's major Community Centre Bridges, which came to fruition in December 2011.

At our AGM in November 2011, members decided that we are not achieving as much as we would like as a Friends of the Earth group, and all of us are involved with other groups in and around Monmouth.  The group will meet much less frequently from December 2011, unless a campaign is needed on a local issue or it captures our imagination and enthusiasm.  If other local people wish to reinvigorate the group, this would be most welcome.  Please contact our Coordinator Haydn Cullen-Jones to find out more about us.
