Ecology Building Society

From its inception Ecology Building Society has had an interest in the World Land Trust as one of the co-founders of WLT was David Pedley, who was also the founder of the EBS. David, a solicitor from Cross Hills and former legal advisor to Friends of the Earth, persuaded ten people to put in £500 each and registered the Society at the end of December 1980. David Pedley worked on wildlife legislation alongside John Burton who was a wildlife consultant to Friends of the Earth from 1970-1975. It was a natural development that David helped to set up WLT, and was one of its first Trustees.

The EBS is now one of the fastest growing building societies in the country with over 10,000 open accounts and assets exceeding £60m. More recently they have become a corporate supporter of the Trust and the 2005 and 2006 issues of WLT News carried flyers about their mortgages as it was considered that they may be of interest to WLT supporters.
