Eight people have been arrested as they tried to stop the felling of dozens of mature native trees at a central Auckland development site.
The group, Mana Rakaū - Save Canal Road Native Trees, has been at the Avondale site on Canal Rd since July last year in protest of the removal of the grove of 100-year-old native trees.
