Reclaim The Valleys

Reclaim the Valleys has been set up firstly in response to Celtic Energy’s proposed plans for 72 opencast mines in South Wales and secondly, to put low impact self sufficient communities back on the Welsh agenda. There is a new campsite on Nant Helen, Ystragynllais and help and people are needed. Celtic Energy have been working with AMEC on the opencast. Celtic Energy are in severe financial difficulties so will feel any protests even harder than usual. From May 27th to May 30th there will be a national Reclaim the Valleys action where people will occupy some of the land ‘owned’ by Celtic Energy. Bring everything you will need to survive a week in Wales, especially waterproofs and wellies! For more details contact: 0385 711364 or the special info line 01792 649071 which will only be for the week leading up to the action.
