More than 1,300 trees slated to come down

Another large protest was held in Burnaby earlier this week condemning the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, but chainsaws still went ahead cutting down local trees in area around the Brunette River.

The protest on Sunday included a march to visit activists camped in a treehouse 60 feet in a tree along the pipeline route. One activist has been camped in the tree for over two months.
