Earth First! activists reported that some time between the second anniversary of Gypsy's death on September 17 and Hallow'een, PL logged the area known as Gypsy Grove, the grove of unharmed ancient trees nearest to the place where Gypsy died. "Branches are piled up and the grove is stumps" said Shunka. "It was like a knife in the guts" to discover the destruction, which may have taken place when Gypsy's legal team was conducting depositions of PL loggers who were present when the activist was killed.
