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.

A supporter is wearing a shirt with the message ''Face to the A69, another way is possible'' in Toulouse, France, on January 17, 2024. As construction on the controversial A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres continues, four arborist-climbers, known as ''squirrels,'' are currently on trial at the Toulouse courthouse for obstructing the felling of trees near Verfeuil by occupying them. Supporters have gathered to back the ''squirrels.'' They have constructed a mock concrete wall where they are painting ''A69 won't be built'' and have burned a fake representation of the Earth. The ''squirrels'' are aiming to protect the remaining trees that the public works group NGE/Atosca has not yet destroyed. NGE/Atosca is cutting down trees even though not all legal procedures have been completed. The opposition group ''La Voie est Libre,'' along with Thomas Brail, is calling for the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions have been made. The expropriation processes for farmers have not been finalized. Critics of the project 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 54 kilometers, and its construction will result in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.
