About us

BE PART OF OUR VISION

We welcome everyone of any group, grove, religion, creed, or political persuasion who are actively interested in volunteering as and when they can, and want to join us in -

PROTECTING & CARING FOR

Our ancient meadows, hedgerows, woods, heritage trees, rivers, beaches, coastlines, parks, gardens, creatures, plants and wildlife etc.

CHALLENGING

The reasons and causes of ecological problems, pollution, destruction of natural habitats, vandalism of places of natural beauty, desecration of sacred sites and ancient monuments. All info is confidential, anonymity is an option if you prefer.

WORKING TOGETHER

We started out as Sacred Grove South West — a Devon & Cornwall based group of environmental advocates, many of whom were druids, pagans and those who followed nature based belief paths. We have grown rapidly into an eclectic UK-wide network which anyone can freely join who wish to work voluntarily together.

HOW we help you with

ecological or environmental problems and issues

Please use one of the contact methods shown on the front page.

Leave a short brief about the eco/enviro problem, where this is happening, with your location and contact details and these will be picked up by our team who will offer assistance or signpost you to appropriate charities and groups, environmental lawyers, academics, professionals who may pass it on to the authorities or courts. We will always refer back to you if you wish to stay involved in the process or you can be anonymous.

HOW YOU can help us and the planet:

Become a local contact of Sacred Grove UK, informing us of issues/problems.

Start a local group to work and campaign on issues and concerns, ie. litterpicking and monitoring woods, streams, beaches and liaising with other eco groups.

Visit/write to local councils, agencies and organisations to liaise/research developments which may encroach or endanger wildlife, or result in loss of habitat, damage historical or ancient landscape; museums re: relics, etc.

Refer high profile cases to us so that we can monitor and refer on to ‘ESAI’ and environmental experts/lawyers.
