An 'Ecureuil' is climbing in 'Majo', a London plane that has been awarded the title 'Outstanding Tree of the Year'. 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' (meaning 'squirrels') had not occupied the trees for 39 days. Following a 39-day police siege at the Crem'Arbres, the French Justice has ruled that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees cannot be cut until September 1st. People, sympathizers, and LVEL members are attending the ceremony to celebrate the awarding of the 'Outstanding Tree of the Year' label. In Saix, Tarn, on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, opponents have set up a ZAD named 'Crem'Arbre' (meaning 'Zone To Defend'), and 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') have been living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free') is demanding that the highway construction be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents of the project argue that the reprofiling of 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 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.

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.

Georges Feterman, the president of the NGO A.R.B.R.E.S, is presenting the 'Outstanding Tree of the Year' label to 'Majo', a London plane tree, in Saix, Tarn, France, on April 26, 2024. Activists, known as 'Ecureuils' or 'squirrels', are currently living in the trees to prevent them from being illegally cut down by NGE/Atosca. They have been in the trees for 39 days, leading to a police siege of the area called 'Crem'Arbres'. The French Justice has ruled that the Crem'Arbres must be protected and the trees cannot be cut until September 1st. Members of the local community, sympathizers, and LVEL members are attending the event to celebrate the awarding of the label. Opponents of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres have set up a ZAD, or 'Zone To Defend', at 'Crem'Arbres' to block the construction. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre', or '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. Critics argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would be much less expensive. 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.

An activist from a ZAD (Zone to Defend) is standing on a cut tree in the Crem'Arbre woods in Saix, Tarn, France, on March 24, 2024. After 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils' (squirrels), who had been living in the trees of the Crem'Arbre ZAD to prevent them from being cut down, descended as the French Justice ruled that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees cannot be cut until September 1st. Supporters, members of LVEL, gathered to welcome the 'Ecureuils' back to the ground. Riot police were present to prevent public disorder. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees had been surrounded by police for over a month. Opponents of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres have set up the Crem'Arbre ZAD and have been living in the trees to block the cutting. 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.

Reva, one of the Ecureuils, is eating a strawberry, enjoying fresh fruit for the first time in 37 days. After spending 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils' living in the trees of the Crem'Arbre ZAD (Zone To Defend) have climbed down following the French Justice's decision to protect the Crem'Arbre and prohibit tree cutting until September 1st. Supporters, including members of LVEL, have gathered to welcome the Ecureuils back to the ground. Riot police are present to prevent public disorder. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees had been surrounded by police for over a month. In Saix, Tarn, France, on the route of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, opponents set up a ZAD named 'Crem'Arbre' to prevent the cutting of trees. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' is advocating for the highway project to be halted until all judicial decisions are made. Not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the anticipated 6,000 vehicles per day and would be much less expensive. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 53 kilometers, and its construction would result in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.
