Heavy Machinery Cutting Toward Tar Sands Blockade Tree Village

On September 24th, eight people climbed 80 feet into trees in the path of Keystone XL construction, and pledged not to come down until the pipeline is stopped for good. Construction cannot proceed until tree-sitters descend and TransCanada clear-cuts through hundreds of trees to make way for the toxic tar sands pipeline.


This video shows blockaders holding strong in the trees despite an approaching heavy machinery.

The blockade is carefully organized to ensure that everyone sitting in the trees can remain safe as long as TransCanada does not attempt to continue clear-cutting the trees. These ardent advocates of landowner's rights and climate justice have the safety equipment and food supplies to last indefinitely.

Get involved here!
