Woman Who Saved a Redwood Tree...By Living in It?! 🤯

Do you know the story of Julia 'Butterfly' Hill? She was an activist living in Northern California, who one day found out that her favorite Redwood tree, Luna, was going to be cut down by a lumber company!

Hearing this news, she had to do something about it. Hill then embarked on a perilous two year+ long journey where she lived in the top of the tree canopy on small tarps, making a home for herself amidst harsh living conditions.

Find out all the hardships she had to endure, ways she showered and performed 'waste management', and more in this incredible story of standing up for something you believe in!

the fact that they would fly helicopters near the top of the tree to try and scare her is wild

I am not a tree hugger by any sense of the definition. And still I have to ask myself why the hell would any lumber company want to cut down a tree that is 1000 years old and over 200 feet high?? Shame on them and anybody else in the lumber business who has to do something as asinine and destructive as that. And to make chairs??? SMFH😠😠😠

I was 20 years old then. I vaguely remember this.

Little did everyone know, the tree was burnt down by vandals shortly after.

Imagine someone asking you how did you go bankrupt and then you say: "Someone was in a tree and would not come down"

[ericbarnes]

And now the economy is ruined in Humboldt county. And people usually don't make chairs out of redwood trees

[anamariajalba]

Bro i think the fact that they cut down the rope is kinda ilegal shame on their lawyer

[Lunathecheetahgriffin]

She was blown up in a car by a company because she still was trying to protect the redwoods

[TheCryptoOptimist]

Sher satisfaction to hear 'The company went bankrupt'

[waylandwalace]

Why did they want *that* tree and why did it matter if they cut it down? Was it a fire hazard? Was it infected with fungus or something? If theh just wanted lumber couldnt literally any other tree do? Why struggle for 2 years doesnt make sense
