Arborist-climbers, known as 'squirrels,' are currently on trial at the courthouse in Toulouse, France, on January 17, 2024, for obstructing the felling of trees near Verfeuil in protest against the construction of the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. Supporters have gathered to back the 'squirrels' and have constructed a mock concrete wall with the message 'A69 won't be built' painted on it, as well as burning a symbolic representation of the Earth. These activists aim to protect the remaining trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet destroyed. Despite ongoing legal proceedings, NGE/Atosca continues to cut down trees. 'La Voie est Libre' (The Way is Free), along with opponents including Thomas Brail, are calling for a halt to the highway construction until all judicial decisions are finalized, noting that not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved. Critics of the project argue that upgrading the N126 would be sufficient to handle the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would be much less costly. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for a stretch of 54 kilometers, resulting in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.

An Earth model is burning in a newspaper, and a leaflet reads, 'A69, you too find it scandalous to cut centennial trees?' As the construction of the controversial A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres continues, four arborist-climbers, known as 'squirrels,' are on trial at the courthouse in Toulouse, France, on January 17, 2024, for having blocked the cutting of trees near Verfeuil by occupying them. Supporters have gathered to back the 'squirrels.' Sympathizers have constructed a mock concrete wall where they are painting 'A69 won't be built' and have set ablaze a faux Earth. The 'squirrels' are aiming to protect the last trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet destroyed. Trees are being cut down by NGE/ATOSCA even though not all legal procedures have been completed. 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free'), opponents, and Thomas Brail are calling for the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. Not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved. Opponents of the project argue that the reprofiling of the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles expected per day and would cost significantly less. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, resulting in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.
