free forests | 02.09.2008 15:25 | Climate Camp 2008 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Free Spaces

The forest of kelsterbach near the airport of frankfurt/main is occupied now since three month. Fraport (the corporation running frankfurt airport) is planning to build a new runway on this place, cutting down every tree on 300ha of land. In total something about 100.000 trees would have to fall for the profit of an enormous international acting corporation. For the people of this region it will mean twice the flight movements per year, at least to a level of one movement every 45 sec. In the first week of september there will be an action camp on the site of occupation, from where we´re going to start countless direct activities in the forests, the streets and the terminals.

Programm
the camp will be an DIY camp, we will provide a kitchen, food and all what is necessary to cook, but we are not enough people to cook alone, so we will do this altogether. The action camp starts monday 1.9.08 an will end on sunday 7.9.08.
