Four protesters are occupying a site where a company is waiting to cut down a 120 year old tree in Frankston.

The protesters say that they managed to protect the tree by sitting on it forcing the contractor to wait.

The protesters have requested help by anyone who is able to come down and support them, they plan to stay overnight and are willing to stay on.

ADDRESS IS: 138 Cranbourne-Frankston Rd Frankston EAST
