Two cordons of 26 bailiffs stopped protesters getting to the trees, but they managed to get into the trees before the third cordon was in place.

If the remaining trees are to be saved they need more people NOW!

At this rate the whole lot will be gone in the next couple of days.

PLEASE spread the word as widely as possible!
