Julia Hill, at just 23, undertook a historical tree sit in California's redwood forest, specifically in a tree she named Luna. Her protest against the Pacific Lumber Company's logging plans extended for 738 grueling days, during which she lived in harsh weather conditions. This act of civil disobedience played a crucial role in raising awareness about deforestation and led to an agreement with the lumber company to preserve Luna and other trees. Hill documented her experience in a memoir, emphasizing the importance of activism in environmental conservation.
In 1997, Julia Hill began a 738-day tree sit in California to protest logging, ultimately achieving an agreement to preserve her tree, Luna.
Hill's commitment to the redwoods, especially Luna, symbolizes a significant moment in environmental activism, challenging corporate greed for the sake of nature.
