Editor's Notes
traditional “friends of groups” > maybe responding to a threat or an opportunity, to budget cuts. Often being put in a difficult position. People who are engaged in a park, or a woodland because it is local to them and they value the amenity. Something they do in their spare time. Often older
More ideological groups > eg transition groups. Motivated by wider concerns – engaging in land as a practical solution to more global issues rather than (or as well as) a particular attachment to a particular site. Still often a spare time pursuit, but maybe with an aim to create employment for others if not themselves
people wanting to meet their own needs > aiming to create a livelihood (or part of one) for themselves – often co-ops. Coppicing or food growing co-ops, groups of people creating their own housing situations: boaters, housing coops, co housing etc
Unorthodox groups > those motivated by the bigger picture and willing to take things into their own hands; Some egs include squatters with a wider social purpose – people influenced by occupy; often more comfortable with some legal grey areas, and physically “taking action” themeslves.
