Cascadia Fire Ecology Education Project (CFEEP) works to educate the public about fire ecology, fire suppression and salvage logging on federal forest lands. Since 1991 the Project has focused on Warner Creek, a protected Spotted Owl Habitat Conservation Area burned by arsonists, as a case study of the politics, economics and ecology of fires in western forests. CFEEP sponsors field conferences and hikes in Warner Creek and presents workshops and slideshows. CFEEP has developed educational materials on fire ecology, including the tabloid "Wildfire" and the video "Born in FireïWarner Creek and the Politics of Salvage Logging."
Zero Extract is the Earth First! campaign for zero commercial or industrial resource extraction from US federal public lands. Federal law and policy needs to be changed to stop the destruction from logging, grazing and mining. The rules that govern our federal land management are worded in favor of commercial interests with little regard for other values, such as recreation, wildlife habitat or ecosystem health. Laws drastically in need of changing include the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Clean Water Act, etc. Zero extraction will ensure habitat protection, an end to corporate subsidy, an end to direct and associated waste of resources, an end to the poisoning of land and waters and the restoration of wildlife populations and native vegetation.
The industrial megamachine is ravaging the fragile Evergrowth of Gaia's Atlantic coastal ecosystems. New GATT-ports on coastal wildlands, "permitted" industrial dischargers blowing death into the estuaries, mopping-up operations against "underutilized" species offshore, shark derbies... Earth First! Coastwatchers spy out the depredators' plans, run them through the filter of state, federal and regional environmental laws and regulations, natural law, and each other's experiences and talents. Then we apply the appropriate direct, media and paperwrench actions to thwart them as best we can. Join the fray!
CMCR produces videos by, for and of the environmental movement. Recent productions include Cove/Mallard, forest health, trophy hunting, salvage logging and lots more. CMCR has led the fight against the Stone Container pulp mill in the group's hometown of Missoula, Montana, CMCR has organized the Forest Health Outreach Project and has an organizer's packet available to interested activists.
ELP supports political prisoners of the animal liberation, green and anarchist movements. ELP lists prisoner addresses, asks for support and prints letters from prisoners and activists. ELP includes articles, action alerts, prisoner profiles, action accounts and information on books and pamphlets.
This project continues to educate the public to the dire environmental consequences posed by grazing on public lands in the American West. Besides highlighting the collusion between federal and state agencies and "Welfare ranchers," the project is mobilizing widespread national opposition to the livestock industry's rip-off of the land and the federal treasury.
The Warrior Poets Society is an organization of Earth First! poets that got started at the 1991 Round River Rendezvous in Vermont, near the home of Robert Frost, America's best-loved poet. "Warrior" because we are a warrior societyïusing poetry to spread the word of biocentrism and wilderness protection, often in humorous and unpredictable ways. We use poetry to inculcate, educate, and motivate. We have a newsletter, The Warrior Poet, free to all contributors, and meet once a year at the RRR. We also have a T-shirt with artwork by Lone Wolf Circles.
