More information
We are a UK-wide conservation group which has campaigned against industrial wind turbines for nearly 20 years, since the first UK windfarms appeared in the Lake District. Initially the issue was mainly about landscape damage, but it soon became clear that the technology of wind turbines is seriously flawed and, the environmental damage extends far beyond the landscape. Country Guardian acts as a clearing house for information and advice, servicing the action groups which spring up every time a wind development is mooted. It helps the groups to pool information and experience and avoids each new group having to re-invent the wheel. It has three hundred members, but half of these have joined as representatives of action groups, so that in reality we are backed by many thousands of people.
