Another protester occupied a tree in City Park on Saturday (March 28) in an attempt to block construction of a $24.5 million golf complex, including a new course that opponents say will illegally trample 5.5 acres of protected wetlands and forest.

"Beaux" climbed the largest remaining oak tree within the construction site Saturday, according to the Facebook page for the City Park for Everyone Coalition, a newly formed nonprofit organization. The latest occupation came four days after the end of Jonathan "Lloyd" Boover's 12-day occupation of a different tree within the construction zone. Boover fell from the tree Tuesday and was booked on charges of criminal trespassing and resisting an officer.

An activist protesting the development plans in City Park reportedly fell out of a tree Tuesday and was picked up by an ambulance.

"City Park appreciates the work of the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office in bringing the situation involving Jonathan Lloyd Boover to a resolution safely. We also appreciate the efforts of the New Orleans Fire Department and other local agencies in rendering first-aid assistance to Mr. Boover earlier today," City Park said in a statement. "From the beginning of this incident, our interest has been for Mr. Boover’s safety, who trespassed on an active construction site and endangered himself by remaining in a tree for more than a week."

The statement continued and said "an arrest warrant was issued for Mr. Boover March 18. The Sheriff’s Office offered Mr. Boover an opportunity to leave the tree on Tuesday, March 17 by 3 p.m., without facing criminal charges. Mr. Boover refused and his case will now be handled by the local law enforcement agencies and the District Attorney’s office."

Update, March 28, 2015: Another protestor, calling himself Beaux, is said to have climbed a tree in the area of City Park being cleared for the construction of a new golf course. This is the same area of the park in which a man occupied a tree for 12 days. According to an update posted to the City Park for Everyone Coalition's Facebook page, Beaux says workers in the Park discovered him in the tree, and police are on the scene. Climbing apparatus and a construction vehicle clearing brush can be seen in a 5-minute clip posted to a cell phone video sharing site under the hashtag #WildIsFree. A large banner hangs from the tree alongside food, water and what appears to be a hammock.

A protest over the reconstruction of a New Orleans City Park golf course entered a new stage Thursday, with the filing of a federal lawsuit against the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the agency that runs the Park.

Organizers, loosely collected under an umbrella organization calling itself the City Park for Everyone Coalition, have called news conferences, flown drones over the construction areas, and packed a Park board meeting with protesters. Members of the coalition are furious at what they see as the destruction of public wild space in exchange for a rarefied, exclusionary sport.

In a memorable instance of civil disobedience, a man and woman climbed a tree slated for destruction and lived in it for days. The woman, calling herself “Heart,” left the cypress after a long weekend, but Jonathan “Lloyd” Boover remained in the branches for nearly two weeks.

Opponents of a golf course proposal in New Orleans City Park have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to halt construction of the multi-million-dollar complex. The lawsuit, filed Thursday morning (March 26, 2015) by the group City Park for Everyone Coalition and members Kevin McDunn and Christopher Lane, claims the New Orleans City Park Improvement Association and Federal Emergency Management Agency violated state and federal laws by failing to properly assess the impacts of a construction project that will destroy "unique and rare" undeveloped wetlands on the park's grounds.

NEW ORLEANS -- The construction of the new City Park golf course continues to be under fire as a local coalition files a federal lawsuit against City Park and FEMA.

The City Park for Everyone Coalition is asking the court to order an injunction that ceases construction of the $13 million golf course. The group claims that City Park and FEMA are going to be illegally building on top of protected urban wetlands.

After letters to the editor, public meetings, and protestors in trees, the controversy over the new gold course in City Park is heading to the courts. Anti-course activists, the City Park for Everyone Coalition (CPEC) issued a release announcing their intention to seek an injunction halting construction on Thursday (3.26) morning.

Represented by Galen Hair of Varadi, Hair & Checki, the CPEC says that they will file suit against Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the City Park Improvement Association (CPMIA) in the Eastern District of Louisiana, at 8:30a.m.

Opponents of a planned golf course at City Park say the tree a protester lived in for 11 days -- and fell out of Tuesday -- has been cut down.

The tree that had been occupied by Jonathan "Lloyd" Boover was removed shortly after dozens of people expressed opposition to the golf course project, members of City Park for Everyone Coalition said. Boover was injured when he fell out of the tree near the Harrison Avenue traffic circle earlier in the day.

Just before the tree was torn down, more than 20 people spoke against the planned $24.5 million golf complex during the park's Board of Commissioners regular meeting. They reiterated concerns that the city is losing a natural space that is free and open to everyone, and the impact the development would have on wildlife that have settled in the area.

A nearly century old, healthy oak tree was cut down today in City Park so golfers can have a better shot at a hole… Many more trees will be cut in the coming weeks. The park also built an enclosure fence around the tree occupied by the protesters so supply deliveries can’t be made and when they finally come down, they can be arrested.

Mature trees contribute much more to the park and the city as a whole than a new golf course that only serves a small number of people and is highly likely to fail. More golf courses are being closed than opened today in America. Even the current New Orleans-area championship golf course took a multimillion dollar “bailout” from the state a few years ago. New Orleans City Park needs to stop gambling on the future of our public land with environmentally and financially unsustainable projects. There are plenty of private and public courses in the city. There is not, however, plenty of large parks with trees, ponds, and wildlife. A oak tree offers many valuable services to our city, some that can be quantified (flood abatement, air quality improvement) and some that cannot (tranquility and peace), with no need to spend millions on maintenance.

NPR's Melissa Block speaks to Lloyd Boover, the New Orleans protester who has been sitting in a tree since Friday to protest the construction of a golf course in City Park.

MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:

Protester Lloyd Boover has been occupying a cypress tree in New Orleans for seven days now. He's perched about two stories up, with a big banner proclaiming Wild Is Free. Boover is protesting a $24 million golf complex being built in New Orleans' City Park. It's a part of the park that was a golf course before it flooded in Hurricane Katrina. For the past 10 years, the area has grown wild, visited by birders, picnickers and dog walkers. But to others, it's a neglected eyesore, and construction is underway for a PGA-caliber golf course to be finished in two years. The protester, Lloyd Boover, has a cell phone with him up in that cypress tree and we've given him a call.

Lloyd, why don't you describe your perch for us up there?

LLOYD BOOVER: Oh, it's beautiful. I'm in a hammock and swinging, watching birds. There's cranes and robins and blue jays, beautiful oak trees all around me. And it's hard to describe - I'm seeing oak trees being destroyed and it's such a beautiful day.

For the past five days, protestors occupied a tree in City Park to oppose the new construction of a championship golf course that recently began. They splattered the words “Wild is Free” across a giant sheet hanging in the tree, suggesting that the plan diminishes City Park’s natural environment. One of the protestors eventually came down this afternoon.

Yesterday authorities built a small fence around the tree where the protestors were perched. Activists following the story claim that police shined lights on the occupied trees at nights so they couldn’t sleep, and that access to water was restricted by the fence.

NEW ORLEANS -- A small crowd of sympathizers opposed to construction of a championship-caliber golf course in City Park gathered outside the massive fence while two people camped out in a tree to protest the development.

The supporters handed out literature for their cause while a man named Lloyd and a woman calling herself Heart were in the tree.

The pair said they don't want trees torn down for the golf course. They said they have been threatened with arrest and told fire trucks will be called to remove them if they don't come down voluntarily.

A man occupying a tree in an area that soon will become a new $24.5 million golf complex in New Orleans City Park is hoping his actions will get park officials' attention, his friends said Tuesday (March 17).

The protester, known as "Lloyd," is holding a large white flag that says, "Wild Is Free." He's been in the tree since Friday.

According to his friend, Twila Hoyle, Lloyd is in the tree because "it's something he has to do for his spirit. Lloyd is a native New Orleanian and is very concerned about what's been happening in the city," she said.

With signs urging developers to back off on plans to build a $24.5 million golf complex in New Orleans City Park, nearly 100 park users gathered Friday (March 13) for a march to protest the project. Golf course opponents said they were concerned about losing a natural space that's open to everyone, and the impact the development would have on the birds, reptiles and other wildlife that have settled in the area. They also questioned whether a golf course would make money.

"We are trying to continue putting pressure on the board of City Park to listen to the citizens of New Orleans," said Christopher Lane, who used to enjoy frequent picnics and bird watching in the space. "There's been a public comment period on this golf course, but they've been ignoring all of the negative or alternative views of how they could use the space. There hasn't really been any process other than, 'We're going to build a golf course and go with that.'"
