TMX can tear down our treehouses, but not our mission
I’d been treesitting in protest of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion (TMX) for months. While my friends and I were literally holding the fort, conservationists were doing critical work on the ground, writes Emily Kelsall.
The treesit ‘Eagle’ was a masterpiece with four walls, a roof, six windows, a bed and a heater
When I first heard of the treesit, I imagined something easily accessible and low to the ground. How wrong I was.
My year in the trees
"While I was decorating my locker, politicians were locking in heat domes and atmospheric rivers," says Emily Kelsall, who spent a year on and off in a treesit protesting the TMX pipeline project.
