Report back from Rose City Counter Info:
In the Fall of 2024, several dozen trees in the Harborton Reliability Project area were spiked. Metallic and ceramic spikes were used, and between one to three spikes were placed in each selected tree.
We waited before sending this message in order to give time for legal advocacy groups to do their work, and also to let any traces of our presence decay into the loam.
Now, the project continues despite the efforts of the community, and the area threatened to be destroyed has grown.
It is now our time to get to work to defend forest park.
We will not let them take the earth from us.
Sincerely,
P.G.E. (Portlanders Getting Even)

Alissa,
Forgive my question if it is stupid, but: the spikes are meant to cause trouble for the cutting of the trees, and the spikes are placed there by "us" to fuck shit up, right? (I swear I'm not a moron, just sometimes things fly over my head)
@Weirding_Is_Real no stupid questions! According to the report back forest defenders spiked the trees. Spiking trees damages equipment/blades and makes it really dangerous for loggers to proceed
Thanks, Coach!
@alissaazar hell yeah damn right amen hallelujah
