The plot of land within the site of the proposed third runway at Heathrow can only have four legal owners on the deed, but you can join the plot as a beneficial owner and help stop airport expansion.
As a beneficial owner you'll be included in a legal declaration of trust and are represented in any legal fight for the land by the four purchasers of the land. The owners including Greenpeace UK are:

With the government's long-delayed decision on a third runway at Heathrow rumoured to be imminent, the
intrepid women and men of the Climate Rush will be making their suffragette-inspired opposition felt at the airport next week.
MPs return from their winter holiday on Monday 12 January, so that evening at 7pm the Climate Rushers will hit Heathrow Terminal 1 for a peaceful picnic. Terminal 1, for those not familiar with the airport, deals principally with domestic flights, the sort of short-haul journeys which could easily be made by other, less climate-wrecking forms of transport. And they are inviting all of us who are fed up with the obvious lack of action on this most serious of issues to join them.

Reacting to news that an announcement on Heathrow
expansion has been postponed until next month, Greenpeace executive director
John Sauven
said:
"The pro-runway faction in government is on the run.
There's been whispered talk of a cabinet split for weeks, but now it's bursting
into the open as more ministers realise that the business case for expansion is
deeply flawed while the environmental case for blocking a new runway is
overwhelming."

Greenpeace welcoming the opening of the new international terminal at St Pancras last year © Will Rose/Greenpeace
Almost a year ago to the day, we went along to St Pancras to welcome the opening of the new international terminal with an enormous Yes! banner. Our point was of course that the UK doesn't need new runways, we need new high speed rail links; then, as now, there were at least 100,000 flights a
year between Heathrow and destinations easily reachable by train.
Since then, the Tories have not only opposed the third runway at Heathrow, they've also warned companies that they "should be very, very careful" about getting involved in any contract for a third runway as the Tories were "absolutely determined" to stop the project.

With the decision on
Heathrow’s third runway expected this year (honest), the atmosphere in Westminster is heating up.
Both opposition parties
have come out strongly against the third runway; rebel Labour backbenchers are
increasingly joining
the opposition; there are signs that the cabinet is split over the decision;
and the new transport secretary Geoff Hoon has called for a parliamentary
debate on Heathrow expansion next Tuesday.
All of which means there are
now two new opportunities for us (by which I mean you…) to intervene and make
the opposition felt in the corridors of power.
