Caption:

As the other activists leave in the afternoon, 'Digger Down' (Scotty Breen), 47, wellknown 'tree protector' who was among Euston Square Gardens Tunnellers last February, stays on the tree at Wornington Green Estate. Activists arrived early in the morning to save the last cherry trees from the fellings connected to the local development project by Catalyst Housing..At 4.30 pm, Digger will declare on the phone: ''I am taking a stand against these so-called housing developments, that are threatening our green spaces and parks all over London. They are ripping the heart of communities and knocking down [social housing] flats to build luxurious flats the most of people cannot afford to live in.
