Protesters blocking entrance to Ōwairaka (Mt Albert)
People have gathered to block the entrance to Ōwairaka in an effort to save hundreds of trees.
The Tūpuna Maunga Authority, which manages the city's 14 tūpuna maunga (ancestral mountains), plans to remove 345 exotic trees from Ōwairaka as part of a long-term native restoration project.
Protesters have been blocking the entrance to Ōwairaka from 6am this morning, stopping construction crews from accessing the area. Leader Anna Radford said she expects a "decent amount" of people expected to turn up.
