Three people were arrested as campaigners protested against the felling of a woodland said to have inspired Roald Dahl.
Natural England issued licences last week permitting the felling of two-thirds of Jones' Hill Wood, which is in the path of HS2.
Campaigners said they wanted to "fight for the woodland" in Buckinghamshire.
A spokesman for the high-speed rail line said 4.1 hectares (10 acres) of new woodland would be created nearby.
The three have been charged with obstructing a public highway, while a fourth was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence dating to last month, and released under investigation.
