Activists occupy a forest near the Tesla factory in Grünheide. The group built tree houses on the approximately 120 hectare forest that is to be cleared to expand the site.
Tesla wants to build a freight station, warehouses and a company kindergarten in addition to the existing 300-hectare factory site. To achieve this, more than 100 hectares of forest will be cleared. Almost two thirds voted against the plans last week. The vote is not legally binding. The local council still has to approve a development plan.
