Sustain and the Soil Association are running a national information sharing and networking event for food co-ops, organic buying groups and CSAs  “Good Food for Local Communities - What's the Recipe"

Hi everyone,

Green Action is a member of Radical Routes.  This is an opertunaty to meet many other co-op activists who live in housing co-ops, run social centers e.t.c.  They offer workshops to train you in finance, facilitation, fun....  If you are thinking of doing anything vaguely radical then this is the place to get inspired.

Learn about edible plants for all around you. We will show you a hidden source of food and show you new parts of Leeds on our wild food walk. We have a wealth of experience which we would love to share with you.

At Mainshill Solidarity Camp we came together and occupied land facing destruction to defend it. We lived outside, grew as a community, took many actions and cost developers plenty of money. In the 1990s protest sites had some great successes. The anti roads movement caused a massive programme of road building to be cancelled by sheer force of numbers taking sites and defending them. Sites such as Nine Ladies and Camp Bling have also won in recent years, completely cancelling planned projects.

Our workshops are full days - from 10am-4pm with lunch provided - and are free of charge if you are a development worker or involved with a community food enterprise.
Places for the training days are limited and these workshops are often oversubscribed, so please visit http://www.mlfw.co.uk/training to book your place now.

INTERNATIONAL SUNFLOWER GUERILLA GARDENING DAY, MAY 1st

On 1 May guerrilla gardeners around the world sow sunflowers all over the place. It's a way to bring beauty, bumble bees and bundles of fun to your neighborhood.

I'm going to buy a big bag of seeds so if you'd like to come beautify Leeds with me, meet at 14 Spring Grove Walk LS6 1RR at 12am May 1st, i'll also leave a few jars in places (Co-op, Peanut Gallery etc) so you can pick up a pocket full and sow when ever and where ever, would be nice to do some around campus, and was also thinking along Burley Road.

 Hello!
