Introduction:

A considerable number of people who participated actively — and expensively — in the hearing process which ended with the grant of a Certificate of Public Good to Green Mountain Power’s industrial wind project on Lowell Mountain found themselves frustrated and deeply disillusioned by the outcome. They moved on to direct action, and quickly found themselves at odds with the law.

These stories and photographs document their progress, between late September and early December 2012, toward a direct confrontation atop the mountain they are seeking to protect, a confrontation that led to their arrest.
