The remains of 'Espoir' ('Hope'), an oak tree that was illegally cut by NGE, are lying in the Crem'Arbres. 'Espoir' had also been occupied by 'Ecureuils' until the police dislodged them. Georges Feterman, the president of the NGO A.R.B.R.E.S, is visiting the Crem'Arbres to present the coveted label of 'Outstanding Tree of the Year' to 'Majo', a London plane. This London plane, along with other trees, would have been illegally cut by NGE/Atosca if the 'Ecureuils' hadn't stayed in the trees for 39 days. After a 39-day police siege of the Crem'Arbres, the French Justice has recognized that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees should remain uncut until September 1st. People, sympathizers, and LVEL members are gathering for the presentation of the 'Outstanding Tree of the Year' label. In Saix, Tarn, France, on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, opponents have set up a ZAD dubbed 'Crem'Arbre' to live in the trees and block their cutting. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' is demanding that the highway project be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriations for farmers have not been settled. Opponents of this project argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles expected per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 53 kilometers, and its construction would destroy more than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields. The date is April 26, 2024.

Two 'zadistes' are looking at 'Majo', the London plane tree that has been named 'Outstanding Tree of the Year', while holding fake tombstones reading 'Here lies Espoir' in memory of 'Espoir' ('Hope'), an oak tree that was illegally cut down by NGE/Atosca in the Crem'Arbres woods. Georges Feterman, the president of the NGO A.R.B.R.E.S, is visiting the Crem'Arbres to present the prestigious label to 'Majo'. This London plane, along with other trees, 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 of the Crem'Arbres, the French justice system ruled that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees should remain uncut until September 1st. People, sympathizers, and LVEL members are coming together for the ceremony to award 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 (Zone To Defend) called 'Crem'Arbre', and 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') have been living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' ('The Way is Free') is demanding that the highway project be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would cost significantly less. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 53 kilometers, and its construction would destroy over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land. The event is taking place in Saix, Tarn, France, on April 26, 2024.
