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

Reva and Tapir, two of the three 'Ecureuils', are holding a press conference. After 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils', who have been living in the trees of the Crem'Arbre ZAD (Zone To Defend), are climbing down because the French Justice has recognized that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees should not be cut until September 1st. People, sympathizers, and LVEL members are gathering to welcome the 'Ecureuils' back to the ground. Riot police are present but only to prevent public disorder. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees had been besieged by police for more than 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 the 'Ecureuils' have been living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' is demanding that the highway construction be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved.
