Stop Burning Trees (SBT) is a grassroots coalition working to end all subsidies for wood fueled power stations. The coalition was founded in 2022 by a mixture of environmental, social and worker justice groups in Yorkshire and now has a national membership. We now have 28 membership groups and have become a crucial organisation in the fight against Drax. We connect each element of the campaign, both resourcing the grassroots folk fighting Drax and supporting political push through NGOs and unions.

SBT fosters the necessary relationships while providing the resourcing and information for the campaign against Drax to function. We act as a link between each element of the Drax campaign including government groups, NGOs, grassroots activists and local campaigning groups.

We believe in democratic control over climate policy, and that starts within our coalition. Member groups control the strategic direction of the coalition through our steering group, which directs staff in their work.

Our work breaks down into political engagement, just transition and resourcing for campaigns.
