Eighteen tree sitters continued Friday to defy a court’s deadline to come down from their redwood perches.
Pacific Lumber Co., owner of the land where the trees stand, was seeking the safest way to end the protest, a spokeswoman said. In the past, the company has had contractors climb up and force activists down.
Pacific Lumber served the tree sitters with a temporary restraining order Wednesday afternoon, giving them 24 hours to comply. But the sitters didn’t budge, saying the ecology of the region was at stake.
