Guarding Sacred Sites: The Nine Ladies Anti-Quarry Campaign (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326600099)

In 2009, environmental activists - from all walks of life - won a nine year battle to prevent quarrying on a sacred landscape, in the Peak District National Park, called Stanton Moor. The diversity of tactics employed - from building a labyrinth of tree houses and tunnels, to letter writing - created an impenetrable defense. Guarding Sacred Sites is the first book study to document the direct action based campaign on Stanton Moor. It weaves personal, first hand accounts of the author, who lived on Stanton Moor at the protest site, together with interviews and contributions from landowners, activists, locals and other users of the moor. The book creates an alternative social history for Stanton Moor.
