A group of protestors have appeared in Auckland District Court following a long-running battle over the clearing of trees for housing.
Ten people are facing a raft of charges, including trespassing, after the removal of the remaining natives on Canal Road in Avondale.
As heavy machinery – and police — moved in to finish clearing the trees last week, protestors gathered and some attempted to gain access to the site, which has been the scene of demonstrations for 245 days.
