without direction or purpose whose travels brought her to Northern California
and the quiet majesty of the ancient Redwood trees. At that time, junk
bond king Charles Hurwitz was leading a campaign to clear cut the redwoods
via his newly acquired company Pacific Lumber to ensure maximum profits.
Eager to protect the trees she had come to love, Julia agreed to work with
a small environmental agency called Earth First to stage a tree "sit" which
involves living up in the trees for days at a time to prevent the trees
from being cut down. Days became months and months turned into years, as
Julia refused to come down from her tree until she knew the Redwoods would
be protected. She braved fierce weather, injury and attacks from lumber
men to save her tree, Luna, and the old growth trees around her. Julia’s
struggle drew massive media attention and she became an eloquent spokesperson
for the Redwoods and the environmental movement. (Posted: September 9,
