UPDATE 7:00PM – FAIL. TransCanada Workers Flip Over Their Own Machinery
These are the people we’re entrusting to build a pipeline that will carry highly hazardous diluted bitumen slurry?! There has never been a pipeline that has been free of leaks. Ever. The Keystone I pipeline alone has leaked an astonishing 12 times in its first year in existence. To say that KXL is safe for our communities is disingenuous at best. We know the risks involved in a toxic tar sands spill and we’re willing to take risks to stop it — because the consequences of inaction is far riskier to our planet and our neighbors.
NOTE: The worker in the feller buncher was not hurt. It tipped over as they tried to clear cut more trees in the path of the Keystone XL. The blockade was not involved.
UPDATE: 6:00PM – Workers Have Stopped For the Day — Tree Blockade Day 1 Was A Success!
From the moment that eight people scaled trees this morning TransCanada’s heavy machinery has roared and ripped at the trees and landscape to clear-cut a pathway for their Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Despite the din the eight blockaders held strong all day — marking the first of what we hope to be many days of maintaining the tree blockade.
UPDATE: 4:00PM – VIDEO: Footage From Two Hours Ago of Heavy Machinery Approaching Tree-Sitters
Our fearless videographer stealthily shot this intense footage two hours ago. Watch as a feller buncher rips up trees as it cuts its way toward our eight brave blockaders defending a timber scaffolding as part of the tree blockade. Blockaders refuse to be intimidated by these heavy machines and pledge to remain in their aerial perches until Keystone XL construction has halted.
UPDATE: 3:00PM – Heavy Machines Are No Longer Advancing Toward Tree Blockade
The advancement of heavy machinery toward our tree village has slowed significantly. Clearing crews are now chopping up logs they have left in the wake of their feller buncher’s destruction. Our eight blockaders remain quietly patient in the trees 80 feet off the ground.
UPDATE: 12:00PM – Tree-Thrashing Machine Cutting its Way Toward Tree Blockade
Tree-thrashing heavy machinery is cutting its way toward our tree village. Eight people are on the tree platforms and have refused to come down until TransCanada stops construction on its dangerous Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
UPDATE: 11:45AM – TransCanada’s Surveying Crews Turned Away
After TransCanada’s surveying crews arrived at our 40 foot timber scaffolding occupied by three brave blockaders they turned away and left. You Shall Not Pass.
UPDATE: 11:25AM – TransCanada’s Surveying Crews Have Arrived at Our 40 Foot Tall Timber Scaffolding
TransCanada’s surveying crews have arrived at our 40 foot tall timber scaffolding that is currently being occupied by three brave blockaders intent on not coming down until they stop Keystone XL – permanently.
PHOTOS: See more photos in our flickr album.
UPDATE: 11AM – Heavy Machinery Has Arrived at the Construction Site Near the Tree Blockade
TransCanada workers have unloaded a heavy machine known as a feller buncher used for clear-cutting any trees in the path of the Keystone XL pipeline. On Saturday these machines leveled a “road” through thick East Texas forest to get closer to our tree village.
UPDATE 10AM – TransCanada Workers Begin Arriving to Construction Site
Three pickup trucks of TransCanada’s Keystone XL construction workers are arriving on Highway 2088 near the Blockade outside Winnsboro, Texas. Workers are currently less than a mile from the blockade site, but no sight of heavy machinery yet. Stay tuned.

WINNSBORO, TX – MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 8:00AM - Eight people climbed 80 feet into trees in the path of Keystone XL construction, and pledged not to come down until the pipeline is stopped for good. Construction cannot proceed until tree-sitters descend and TransCanada clear-cuts through hundreds of trees to make way for the toxic tar sands pipeline.
The blockade is carefully organized to ensure that everyone sitting in the trees can remain safe as long as TransCanada does not attempt to continue clear-cutting the trees. These ardent advocates of landowner’s rights and climate justice have the safety equipment and food supplies to last indefinitely. Help spread this breaking story on Facebook and Twitter.
“Today I climbed a tree in the path of Keystone XL to demand TransCanada stop construction of this dirty and dangerous pipeline. This pipeline is a disaster for everyone it touches, from the cancer tar sands extraction is causing indigenous communities, to the water poisoned by inevitable tar sands spills, to the landowners whose land has been seized, and to everyone that will be affected by climate change,” said Mary Washington, one of the Tar Sands Blockade members sitting in a tree.
Show your support for Mary and our seven other blockaders with a generous donation to help keep them supplied with food and water.
It’s not easy to see our friends disappear up a tree, exposed to the elements, and not know when we will see them again. But knowing what this pipeline is doing to our neighbors and the planet, we are more resolved than ever to keep fighting this pipeline by whatever means we can.
This blockade is a continuation of an unprecedented summer of actions against fossil fuel infrastructure across America, from Montana to Ohio to New York. As a record heat wave baked the country, Americans stood up in unheard of numbers to oppose fossil fuels that are contributing to climate change. Join this growing movement when you sign up now to join one of our upcoming actions. If you were thinking about coming to Texas, now is the time!
“Climate change killed half a billion trees in Texas last year–and if TransCanada cuts these down, than the dirty oil they send down the pipeline will trigger yet more out-of-control warming,” said climate activist Bill McKibben, who helped lead huge protests in Washington, DC against the pipeline last fall.
Tar Sands Blockade has already successfully shut down Keystone XL construction for about two-and-a-half days in Livingston, Saltillo, and Winnsboro.
Watch the action packed video from our recent actions and sign up to join us.
“Today’s bold action by these eight brave people demonstrates their resolve to stop this dirty and dangerous pipeline. They understand the severity of the threat and that taking action is less risky than doing nothing,” said Ron Seifert, a spokesperson with Tar Sands Blockade. “We are defending our homes, our communities clean drinking water, our land rights, and a stable, livable climate.”

A dateline would really help this post receive more traffic. It’s really hard to share anything when there’s no time element or location attributed to this action. The post mentions TransCanada, but as I reader I’m not certain if this takes place in Alberta, British Columbia or NW U.S.
Please send me an updated post and I’d love to share this.
Cheers, and good luck.

I agree. To find the date, I had to go to the YouTube video to see when it was uploaded. Of course, that’s not an absolute, but with some other references on Facebook, I finally concluded it was Sept 24th.
And yes, location would be excellent to know. It wasn’t until I read this paragraph to finally find out where they are:
“Three pickup trucks of TransCanada’s Keystone XL construction workers are arriving on Highway 2088 near the Blockade outside Winnsboro, Texas. Workers are currently less than a mile from the blockade site, but no sight of heavy machinery yet. Stay tuned.”
I wish I could be there with you fighting this filthy beast. I am there in spirit and getting ready to post this story on my website. If you wouldn’t mind, though, please provide dates, not just the time, and location. You may also get some more supporters on-site, too. Thanks!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I have taken to the trees myself, 12 years ago in British Columbia, Canada. With a lot of dedicated people WE SAVED THE ELAHO. We saved it and it’s still there. YOU WILL SUCCEED. Don’t give up. I know I’m yelling.
I know it’s hard, it was one of the hardest times of my life, but it was worth it. It was worth being arrested, going to court for years, going to jail, it was all worth it and I’d do it again in a heart beat. I’m proud to have helped save the Elaho and I’m proud of you for stopping this pipeline. Don’t give up.
There are thousands, millions of us behind you, and when you need us we will not let you down. There are only a few of you there in body but we are ALL with you and finding our way to stand up to this and stop this.
Thank you again.
Keep us posted and we will clog facebook with images of you.

Thank you for helping to save our precious planet. Peace be with you.
Floating through space, moving along with the hot sun, and circling the sun, again, and again, Mother Earth you are a special living being with the mix and churn of your skin resulting in a myriad of life forms. As your child humanity is offered witness to the ever present life force growing in and from the mix of your skin and air and water and the heat and light from the Sun. The cosmic life force is evident in you and your plants and animals that dance an intricate weave so complex and dependent on a balance that is fragile and perhaps threatened by your “smartest” offspring adolescent species the human beings that know how to dance and sing and cry and play but also carry a strong aspect of greed for self and cruelty towards others. Sweet Mother Earth it is not clear if the human species can find a balance with the rest of the species and so the whole dance may collapse. Please inner spirit of Mother Earth help your child humankind find its rightful balance so this beautiful dance you have hosted will continue.

You guys are the early “white blood cell responders” from the Good Earth immune system. Earth’s web is under great threat and now more and more responders will come to the places where the wounds are like open sores. The laying of pipe by Keystone XL is one such open wound laying open the earth. Few white blood cells have begun to stir now and locked themselves to trucks and dozer treads and scaled trees… You are the early scouts to the scene of these sacrifice zones … thousands more will follow, there is no doubt of this!
See you soon!

Thank you for what you’re doing. I say you’re actually teaching the rest of the community what they’ll need to do as a result of eventual sea levels rise! Here’s James Hansen, head of climate science at NASA, from the NY Times of 9th May 2012: “Canada’s tar sands . . . contain twice the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by global oil use in our entire history. If we were to fully exploit this new oil source, and continue to burn our conventional oil, gas and coal supplies, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere eventually would reach levels higher than in the Pliocene era, more than 2.5 million years ago, when sea level was at least 50 feet higher than it is now” Article “Game over for the climate” http://tinyurl.com/8552jvw

There are more trees in the US (especially Southeast) now then 100 years ago. Most tracts now are plantations and are maintained for production purposes through management. Wood is one of the most renewable resources and with advances in forestry today can be safely and environmentally harvested with impacts to wildlife, water, and erosion being nonexistent. I understand you’re against the pipeline but don’t bring the trees into this.
Sally Wood
September 25, 2012 at 2:41 am (UTC -6) Link to this comment
Non-existent impact? Really? Non-existent? Please.
Also, it takes a long time to replace older growth with an equivalent amt of foliage. Trees, plants absorb CO2 and release oxygen into atmosphere – their presence is critical, and will always be for wildlife. The trees weren’t ‘brought’ into this. The machinery of the pipleine was ‘brought’ into this.

There are more trees in the USA now, because 99% of the old growth forests that covered this continent have been wiped-out and replaced with seedlings. Trees, forests and ecosystems that took thousands upon thousands of years to grow will never recover. The forests that no longer exist in the middle east are evidence that this happens.
There’s a common belief that the forest industries are telling the truth when they talk about ‘management’, but their financial interests are in conflict with the environment and its well-being. The same can be said for scientists that work for logging companies. They have a conflict of interest.
Timber agencies routinely receive permits to kill endangered species. They use confusing terminology to hide the common use of clear-cutting and the logging of old growth trees. They also “wholesale” our forests to countries overseas, shipping millions of logs (and our jobs) to China to reap quick profits. They also label all of these practices sustainable under certified agencies.
Timber companies are large corporate profiteers. They are not here to help us or make our lives better in any way. They’re here for money.

Blockaders, we are sickened by this video of TransCanada equipment eating through the forest like a Godzilla monster. Our admiration for the eight tree sitters and for all of you blockaders is boundless. We are so wed by your commitment and courage that we wish we could hug everyone of you.
We are so proud of you as you defend threatened landowners. TransCanada’s bullying is mean, ugly and wrong. We are proud that you are all standing up for what is right. . . .
We are a senior couple, and we want you to know that we are opposing the Keystone XL pipeline, as well as the Seaway Pipeline, in our own way. We have paired with another couple and have been visiting the offices of legislators and candidates in our area, both Democratic and Republican, to educate them regarding the toxic dangers of tar sands and how wrong it is to bully and intimidate landowners.
There are so many ways of protesting, letter writing, direct acction as you are doing, letter writing and calling — any way to apply pressure to stop this monstrosity. Tomorrow we are visiting the office of Senator John Cornyn, and we have more key appointments lined up.
Tree sitters, please be safe and don’t do anything dangerous. We don’t want you to get hurt.
Our hopes and ouor prayers are with you all on this most important mission to sae our planet from irreparable destruction.

What I find disturbing was that when I was in DC last October protesting with Occupy this Pipeline, Obama within a month had stopped the pipeline temporarily; however it is on again. Nowadays a citizen has to keep vigil due to the powers that are destroying the Earth in the name of profits for their greeedy, tax dodging corporations.

Why would we be surprised by the heartless words and ignorant beliefs that some have written as comments here. This is what we are up against. They just don’t get it. What it will take to make them see the light, I don’t know. They don’t want to get it. It should be plain to all that we must stand up for the environment, for the earth, for the future health of our children and their children. What the future will bring we really don’t know, but what good will any of it do if there is no beauty, no blue sky, no clean air or fresh water? Please don’t be fooled by the greed of these companies into thinking that they care one iota about you. They don’t. Stand firm, speak your heart-somehow, somewhere it will take seed and grow into a movement. Too many people feel helpless and have given up before they have started. They think it is easier to go with the flow, not realizing that there is no other way than to fight for what is right.
