This Thursday, the opponents of the A69 denounced “the destruction of trees” with the cream, despite the commitments made by Atosca and the prefecture. These are “site security works”, replies the dealer.
“The trust that we have never placed in NGE Atosca proves to be legitimate.” In a press release this Thursday, the opponents of the A69 denounced the presence of a mechanical excavator on the cremation site, in Saïx, the old Zad, from where the last squirrels came down during the weekend (two have been brought together in the meantime) and the continuation of the work.

However, Atosca and the prefecture have assured it: there will be no more tree felling work on this site until September 1st, the date on which this type of work can resume, according to the environmental authorization issued on March 1, 2023.
“Anti-intrusion trenches”
So what was a mechanical digger doing in the cremated forest this Thursday? “It attacks the root system of the trees on which we are, explain the “squirrels”. This causes a risk of falling and disturbs the nesting of the tits.”
