Actress Daryl Hannah has spoken out about being arrested from her environmental protest.
Hannah, 45, had spent three weeks living in a Walnut tree in protest at plans to sell off a 14 acre community garden in LA.
After police cut away branches of her tree, she was arrested for trespassing along with 17 others inside the garden and 27 protesting outside.
Speaking to People magazine from her jail cell Hannah has said about her predicament: "I'm not thrilled about it, but I felt it was important to sustain my commitment."
"I spent the last 23 days down at the South Central farm, which is the largest urban farm in the nation and provides food for hundreds of families,"
�The subsistence farmers are from one of the poorest communities. This farm should be a model for sustainable urban agriculture. It needs to be replicated, not eradicated."
"I make a weekly video blog on sustainable issues for my Web site. I went down to the farm to shoot a segment on it and fell in love with it and the farmers and committed myself to stand in solidarity with them and on principles to save the farm."
