A69 Highway : 'Majo' Of The Crem'arbres ZAD Receives The Label 'Outstanding Tree Of The Year'
Georges Feterman, president of A.R.B.R.E.S. (right), is holding the 'Outstanding Tree of the Year' label for 'Majo', alongside Manon from the GNSA (center) and a member of LVEL (left). The president of the NGO A.R.B.R.E.S. has come to Crem'Arbres to present the prestigious label to 'Majo', a London plane tree. This tree, along with others, would have been illegally cut down by NGE/Atosca if the 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') had not occupied the trees for 39 days. Following a 39-day police siege at Crem'Arbres, the French Justice system ruled that Crem'Arbres must be protected and the trees should not be cut until September 1st. People, sympathizers, and LVEL members are attending the event to witness the awarding of the 'Outstanding Tree of the Year' label. In Saix, Tarn, France, on the proposed A69 highway route between Toulouse and Castres, opponents have set up a ZAD named 'Crem'Arbres' (ZAD: Zone To Defend), and 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') have been living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down.
