Overview

Friends of the Earth (FoE) is a mainstream environmental campaign group and charity founded in 1971. 

Most of the reporting on FoE relates to its connections with anti-nuclear groups, such as the Torness Alliance, during the early 1980s. 

However, FoE was discussed in a meeting between the SDS and MI5 as a potential point of entry to place an undercover officer in the anti-nuclear movement.
