I am (currently) only a member of my local Agenda 21 group, but that keeps me quite busy

You, of all people, let your HDRA membership slip?

That's one I'm a member of, along with their heritage seed library scheme.

Currently CAT HDRA (sorry Garden Organic) I can certainly recommend membership of both the above oh, and the RSPB which is generally green in its outlook and means I also get free admittance to Conwy Bird Reserve whenever I'm passing. One problem with polls like this one is that you can seemingly only select one answer!

Hadn't thought of that

Shall I take the poll out and we can just have a discussion about it, or do we think there's a value in the poll??

I joined Friends of the Earth because they seem to make the most difference at a national level. I thought about joining Greenpeace, but while I agree with a lot of the direct action they take, I think this might stop the government from listening to them.

I'd certainly recommend joining CAT. The magazine Clean Slate is usually interesting and the research work they've done over the years is certainly worth supporting

None of the above but members of HDRA, RHS, Small Woods Association, BASC, yes they are a shooting organisation but do a large amount of conservation. And Downsizer.net of course.

we belong to the woodland trust, support the towerhill stables animal sanctuary, redwings, the ilph, the moorland mousie trust and have bought goats for africa for 2 years running for world vision that plus the fact that most of our 32 animals are rescued means i don't think we can do much more though i wish i could

I haven't joined any really because I'm cautious about the 'extreme' side of things. Becky
