Julia Butterfly Hill, an American environmental activist, spent 738 days inside Luna, a large 1500-year-old redwood tree, protesting the logging methods used by Pacific Lumber.
She lived in the tree from December 10, 1997, to December 1999. When Pacific Lumber Company decided to preserve the tree and a 200-foot buffer zone surrounding it, her revolutionary work ended.
She intended to stop the destruction, draw attention to PL’s environmental carelessness, and educate the public about the value of trees in stabilizing hillsides with her protest, which broke world records for tree sitting.
