Western Springs pines: Arrest as protesters move in to stop felling of woodland

“There’s decade old trees in this forest. It’s a regenerating matter forest,” Abel said.
“It will completely change the structure of the forrest. Native tree ferns will dry out without the canopy. Pine trees provide habitat for birds and insects, and there’s hundred of tons of carbon stored in these trees.
“The structure, character and ecology of this forest should be respected.”

Abel claims a 15-year-old kauri tree and a 30-year-old pōhutukawa tree were among the natives that had been cut down to clear a path for the felling.
