"Three environmentalists took to the trees Thursday morning to protest mountaintop mining.
They've set up tree-top platforms 60-feet in the air next to where Massey Energy is blasting at its Bee Tree Strip Mine in Raleigh County.
Twenty-three year-old David Smith, 19-year-old Amber Nitchman and 28-year-old Eric Blevins are all members of Climate Ground Zero. They've hung banners from their platforms that read 'Save Coal River Mountain,' 'EPA Stop the Blasting' and 'Windmills Not Toxic Spills.'
The three say they intend to remain on their platforms for as long as it takes to end mountaintop mining."
