MORTON COUNTY, N.D.-The final Dakota Access Pipeline protest camp near the Standing Rock Indian Reservation is being cleared out.

Morton County officials say the Bureau of Indian Affairs gave an eviction notice about two weeks ago.

The BIA set up a roadblock on Wednesday, March 1, to prevent anyone else from entering.

People were allowed to leave freely.

As of Tuesday, Morton County says about 50 people were left at the camp and many were trying to clean up.

Protesters say dozens left safely on Wednesday.

The two other protests camps, including the main one that once held thousands of people, were cleared out in the last week.

They're now being cleaned up by the Army Corps of Engineers.
