PL Loggers Fall Jerry

by Kristina
Tree sitter removed. PL loggers limb tree in preparation for falling. Activists take to the woods to protect old growth redwood. Sherriffs in pursuit.
After removing "Amity" this morning from the top of this 200ft. tree in a way that put both her life and that of "Climber Eric" at risk, Pacific Lumber / MAXXAM has begun falling the old-growth redwood named Jerry.
At Approximately 1:35 pm on Thursday M20, PL Loggers began limbing Jerry - the old growth Redwood protected for nearly a year by Remedy. Forest activists scattered into the woods to protect the tree. (They can't fall a tree if it might hit someone) Sherrifs are arresting and detaining activists in vans as the limbing continues in preparation for falling the grand tree. The situation is tense and intense.
