After 37 Days In The Trees To Block The Cut Of Trees For The A69 Highway, 'Ecureuils Climb Down

Activists from a ZAD, which stands for Zone To Protect, are holding a press conference. After spending 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils', who have been living in the trees of the Crem'Arbre ZAD, are climbing down because the French Justice has recognized that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees cannot be cut until September 1st. Supporters, including members of LVEL, are gathering to welcome the 'Ecureuils' back to the ground. Riot police are present to prevent public disorder. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees had been surrounded by police for over a month. In Saix, Tarn, France, on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, opponents have set up a ZAD called 'Crem'Arbre', and 'Ecureuils' are living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre', which means 'The Way is Free', is demanding that the highway construction be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. Not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved. Oppo
