A tree-sit camp protected the forest around a sacred cave on the south end of Vancouver Island just outside of Victoria, BC. Many of the campers were homeless people, both local and from afar, and many travelers (including railroaders) stopped in for a day, week, month to support the protest. Then, on February 13, 2008, a massive police strike broke the camp! More than 60 police officers attacked the campers and kept the media out with a blockade. 3 people were arrested and charged with mischief. Moments later the excavators moved in and began destroying the forest.
