And in California, four people have ended their nearly two-year sit-in atop several redwood trees in Berkeley. The protesters have been living in a grove on the UC Berkeley campus since late 2006 in an effort to save the trees from being cut down to make room for a multi-million-dollar sports facility. The tree-sitting came to an end after workers and police used scaffolding to arrest the protesters atop the remaining ninety-foot redwood. The tree was cut down hours later.
