Speaking outside the court, Hanna Luypers said it s a travesty for the city. There are ten different species of trees here which will no longer exist anywhere else in New Zealand, she told Newshub. You won t find these trees in such close proximity in the middle of an urban area ever again in our lifetime. It s gone. It will never ever be able to be replaced.
The protesters say it s a tragedy for all generations to come. If you missed out going and seeing these trees, you should be gutted, Luypers said. You should be gutted, you never went down there and helped us.
