Headline: Renowned Activists Occupy To Protect London Trees From Gentrification

Caption: Sarah Akhtar, a resident of Wornington Trees Estate, near the workers who are building up fences around two cherry trees occupied by nationally renowned environmental activists. She is taking food to the 'tree protectors'. Residents complain about “the lack of meaningful consultation with residents and the wider community and the lack of interest from the press, despite a long campaign and petition lasting for almost one year. The large part of the trees giving its name to Wornington Trees Estate was felled during the last months. Residents hope the presence of renowned ‘Tree Protectors’ will attract more attention from the media. They “believe any regeneration should be environmentally friendly and carried out in equal collaboration with residents, local community, the council and developer.
