Tree sitting for the climate / by Ian Harland

Over the last year, I’ve documented a group of passionate environmentalists fiercely opposed to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project. When they felt that their lawful methods of protest ran dry, they began building treehouses along the construction route of the pipeline with the goal of stopping it. This peaceful direct action was spearheaded by Simon Fraser University professor Tim Takaro.

This story was documented alongside writer Emily Kelsall and is published in the National Observer and Chatelaine.
