BRL broke the story and confirmed that protesters have confronted trees cutters with the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project. The encounter happened mid afternoon Saturday near Yogaville where the pipeline will cross and eventually run into Nelson County and beyond.

Our media partners over at CBS-19 were also able to independently confirm with Dominion officials that it was taking place.
