German police prepared on Thursday to clear a camp of environmental activists from an area of forest that is set to be felled so that a highway can be built. Dozens of police officers arrived at the Danneroeder forest north of the city of Frankfurt to remove about 150 activists, who have set up camp to try to prevent the felling, including building tree houses and erecting barricades. The regional police said on Twitter that protesters were chasing construction vehicles and appealed to them to stop, saying it was dangerous.
