Description
Julia Butterfly Hill's remarkable story is one of courage and conviction. In 1997, she embarked on a 738-day tree-sit in a 1,000-year-old redwood in California, protesting the destruction of the ancient forest by the Pacific Lumber company. The action, which began as a two- to three-week protest, became an historic civil action that drew international attention and sparked a national debate about environmental conservation. Hill's determination was tested by the elements, as she endured El Nino storms, helicopter harassment, and a ten-day siege by company security guards. Her tiny platform, 18 stories off the ground, became her home for over two years, as she fought to save the redwood and the forest ecosystem. This is her story, written while she lived on the platform, offering a unique and personal account of her experience. Through her remarkable story, Hill shows that even one person can make a difference in the fight to protect the environment.
