The tree, near Sparkford in Somerset, is set to be cleared to make way for a slip road as part of a £250m National Highways project to dual the A303.
Simon Be is among a group of protesters who are occupying the tree.
'Our biodiversity in Britain is plummeting. We need to resist yet more needless destruction,' he said.
The protesters believe that the oak is about 600 years old.
However, National Highways said it believed the tree to be 400-450 years old.
'The tree was not subject to a protection order and was deemed a veteran tree throughout the DCO process,' a National Highways spokesman said.
Protesters have been surrounding the tree for nearly three weeks in attempts to convince National Highways to move the slip road and leave the oak tree in place, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) reported.
Extinction Rebellion and BBC Springwatch presenter Chris Packham have added their support, with Mr Packham calling the oak a 'magnificent' and 'beautiful' tree.
'It's important, precious, a treasure [and] needs to be cherished,' he said.
He called on National Highways to 'rethink' its decision.
