by tristan

To celebrate more than six months of occupation, the Oak Grove held a concert. many residents, students and excited visitors have camped in a small oak grove since December to save it from being cut down by the university.

We had a fun and fairly sunny day. One hundred or more people came by to listen to music and share the afternoon. Here are some photos that I took.

You can still come any day to join or support the tree-sits. It is a great place to watch the sunset from.
