The protesters were camping in and on an area that is scheduled to be made into an new airport.
Most of the protesters belong to the green party, and are against the airport due to the required cutting down of trees.
They are doing everything they can to block it's construction, including throwing stones and bottles at police.
Police used tear gas, riot shields, and batons to force the protesters out.
It's the second day in a row that police and protesters have clashed.
Raw video from the scene showed campers attempting to sneak back through police lines, in an attempt to climb back into the trees.
Seven people were injured on Saturday, one of whom was a police officer who was hit by a rock.
