Protester Will Stay Overnight in Threatened Norfolk Pine
Protester Will Stay Overnight in Threatened Norfolk Pine
Protester Charlie Cottrell-Jury, who scaled a threatened 150 year old Norfolk pine at Snell’s Beach this morning, says he'll stay overnight in the tree to protect it.
The pine was due to be felled this morning by contractors but Cottrell-Jurysays he won’t come down until the developer agrees to save it.
Snell's Beach community members are rallying to support Cottrell-Jury by collecting food and overnight gear for him.
Cottrell-Jury is appealing directly to developer Vavasour Investments to save the tree and says he's willing to stay for as long as it takes to get that committment.
The tree-felling contractors are due to arrive back at the site at 7am tomorrowmorning.
