California Tree-Sitter, Says He Will Have Oak Moved


A county leader said he would try to save a 400-year-old giant oak by moving it out of the proposed path of a four-lane road, but a man who has been living in the tree said he was afraid it would die in the move. John Quigley, 42, has been sitting in the tree for most of November in an attempt to protect it. He's drawn sympathy, home-cooked meals and a steady stream of visitors who don't want it cut down.
