Tree huggers for the most part do not want to harm anyone or anything.

I have a good deal of experience in this area, and your statement is simply not true.

The people you are talking about want to destroy an entire economy and way of life in order to achieve their self-righteous objectives, and when it comes to the law of unintended consequences they do not have a clue. That is, if they really didn't want to destroy a way of life and an economy their actions had the same effect anyway. And, ecologically speaking, they don't have the slightest idea of what the consequence of their behaviors are.

Tree huggers are just people who like to make a lot of noise and get their picture in the paper by hanging off balconies with their signs or burning down the legal rights and property of others.

True conservationists are those with dirt under their fingernails, who get their vegetables from the ground, who get their meat by killing it first hand, and who are part of the ecosystem rather than apart from it.

Mind you, I have great love for trees and I've devoted my entire professional life to seeing that they prosper.
