NEW MILFORD TOWNSHIP -- The fight to save some maple trees in Susquehanna County from being chopped down for a natural gas pipeline is in the hands of a federal judge now.

Constitution Pipeline is asking a judge to order the removal of protesters near New Milford.

The Holleran's trees are used to make maple syrup and the family has asked the company to spare the trees, even after a judge ruled they could be cut down by eminent domain.

The pipeline company says the protestors near New Milford are violating a court order that allows the trees to be cut down.

Loggers showed up last week and were peacefully turned away.

There is no word when the federal judge might make a decision.
