DATELINE WINNSBORO, TX — This morn­ing two Texas-born Tar Sands Block­aders have locked them­selves to a crit­i­cal piece of equip­ment for TransCanada’s Key­stone XL con­struc­tion in order to pro­tect a mas­sive tree vil­lage in the direct path of the tox­ic tar sands pipeline.

The vil­lage, where eight tree sit­ters remain in vig­il, is on prop­er­ty that Tran­sCana­da now claims own­er­ship of through court action. Key­stone XL con­struc­tion crews have advanced just over 300 yards away from the north­ern bound­ary of Tar Sands Blockade’s tree vig­il.
