Maybe if you sneak up with a steel cable and pole, attach them around the tree like a tourniquet, and have workers quietly twist through the trunk. |

Bad science - as Tabs notes, a hoverdozer will be completely useless. |

The way this is being solved in real life for logging trucks, if not bulldozers, is using superwide underinflated tires that can roll over a person without harming them. This is more to save loggers' lives in accidents than to necessarily save tree huggers, of course. |

Well, it's not so much traction that's required, as force. I forgot to mention the 4 Rolls Royce Olympus turbojets fitted to the Hoverdozer. They'll have thrust vectoring to keep things straight, and of course, re-heat for the more recalcitrant obstructions |

See the link for the origins of this term treehugger; a community based non-violent movement led mostly by women. Naturally we would want to neutralize it. |
