University of California, Berkeley police arrest a protester participating in a tree-sit to protect a grove of trees.





(UWIRE) -- And then there were three.
As the bright lights set up to keep watch on the seven remaining tree-sitters in the University of California Berkeley oak grove shone and the power generators churned late Tuesday night, 19-year-old Drew Beres descended from the grove, the first of four tree-sitters to do so in the following 15 hours.
Three protesters remain in the 19-month-long tree-sit aimed at preventing UC Berkeley from going forward with plans to build an athletic training facility on the site, which would require 44 trees in the grove to be cut down. Multiple lawsuits have been filed by community organizations with the same ultimate goal.
Unofficial protest leader Zachary RunningWolf said the remaining tree-sitters plan to stay until at least July 17 when a judge is set to determine whether UC Berkeley will be able to go ahead with construction.
At about 11:00 p.m. Tuesday, three of the tree-sitters were spotted on the ground in the fenced-off grove area.
