Nearly three weeks ago, protesters set-up a tree-sit in Dalkeith County Park to protest the creation of a new A68 bypass through the park, an important wildlife habitat and tourist attraction.

Today, authorities cut five trees down before being stopped by protesters.Now the protesters have 48 hours to leave before eviction, and are asking for help.
