PA Residents Launch Tree Sits to Blockade Construction of Gas Pipeline
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And at Camp White Pine in Pennsylvania, residents and activists have
launched ongoing 24-hour tree-sits to try to block the construction of
Sunoco's Mariner East 2 pipeline, which would carry fracked gas from the
Marcellus Shale in Ohio across Pennsylvania to an export facility on the
East Coast. Multiple residents and activists are currently suspended in
trees in Huntingdon County in efforts to prevent workers from
clearcutting the forest to make way for the pipeline.
