Hill spent 738 days in an ancient redwood to stop the Pacific Lumber Company from cutting it down. Her tree-top protest garnered national attention and brought awareness to the raging timber wars that pitted Wall Street against the environment, and loggers against activists. There is no law forbidding timber companies from cutting ancient redwoods, and restrictions on logging billionaire corporations are easily ignored. Julia Butterfly saw first hand how far they would go while living in the canopy of one giant tree as helicopters buzzed her, whipping the giant brances and threaten to knock her to the ground. A new copy.
