For 738 days, American activist Julia Hill lived in the branches of a California Redwood tree to prevent loggers from cutting it down, 1999
In 1997, loggers began to cut down California redwood trees, which are some of the largest and oldest living trees in the world. To protest this, Julia Hill lived in the branches of one for over 2 years. By doing this, Hill protected the tree she was living in (ehich was called Luna) and other trees around it. She survived by being hauled up to her by supporters and cooked her meals on a small propane stove. She also had a small shelter in the tree.
She survived storms, freezing rains and temperatures, harassment from helicopters and loggers and intimidation. After this protest, the loggers gave up, and left the tree and thr surrounding area alone. Luna is still alive today and Hill continues her activism to help the environment.
