My solution would have been to start cutting at the base.

Lets hope a shower was there as well. Trying to eliminate in a bucket is difficult at best, I can't imagine trying it in a tree.

Obviously, when you have people in trees, it makes it very difficult to operate chuckle chuckle snort giggle

I'm sure the houses occupied by the local residents did a lot to improve the area's ecology. The protesters probably all have wood burning fireplaces and drive SUV's. I remember back in 1970 being behind an oil burning smoking car on the road that had an ecology sticker on the back window.

Ironic aint it....that these morons are heading us towards communism (or at the very least massive socialism) and when the other shoe drops, government controls all the land and no longer needs to listen to us, people like her will be shot out of trees without fanfare nor delay, the land raped, and there will be no recourse. Silly little bird.
