Slaughter of Sacred Oak Groves
Along Live Oak road in Trabuco Canyon, stand groves of ancient oaks believed to be over 400 years old. They are almost all that remain of the oak forests that once covered the entire southland. Back in the concrete nightmare of south Orange County live the individuals responsible for orchestrating the slaughter of these beautiful trees. Next weekend, OCEF! plans to take the struggle for the oaks to their doorsteps...
The sacred oak groves are referred to by developers as "Saddlecreek." Their plans call for cut-and-fill grading and the destruction of between 500 and 1000 of these trees, all in the name of luxury homes and fast food outlets. Saddlecreek has been approved and has cleared almost all legal hurdles. We are now all that stand between the wilderness and the bulldozers.
Lets put the "no compromise" back in defending the Earth!
Join us for a caravan to the home of a local Earth destroyer...

How do you plan to help the "destroyers" of the oak groves understand the significance and consequences of their action? Standing there chanting will only create a temporary annoyance akin to mosquitoes. If you want to really hit home, you have to find some way to make them understand the trees are like ancestral family.
