Land developer had been wanting to fell this 300 Kauri tree.
This is terrible, security guards, cutting the tree with chainsaws while a protester was still in it. Ring barking, also called girdling, is the process of removing bark in a circle around the base of the tree which often causes it to die - usually within a year.
The Save our Kauri group said neighbours tried to stop the men but were too late to stop them ring barking the tree.

I hope they can find a way to save the tree. Realistically, it's tough winning against developers.
Merry Christmas, Ann!

This is sad. Cutting trees almost feels like taking the life of a living being. I hope this one doesn't die.
most unfortunate
