Julia "Butterfly" Hill on NBC Dateline, 2-14-99, including the infamous instance of PL President, John Campbell, calling tree-sitters "terrorists" on national television. John Campbell passed away on October 19th, 2008, R.I.P. The tree Julia was sitting in, "Luna," was permanently protected under John Campbell's presidency; quite a turn-around from negotiating with "terrorists," eh?

  • Does anyone know that that cut down this tree? A sick freak actually dared to cut it!

  • @HarpEeveeWove They didn't actually cut the tree down, yet it did get cut into. Braces were made to keep the tree standing, and cables were also attached higher up on the tree to stabilize it. You can find photos online by doing a websearch.

  • Julia Butterfly is anything but stuck up!! She is one of the most warmest caring people that ever hugged me!!I love who she is and what she stands for!! Get a clue Cam Boy! She Rocks!!! Many Blessings to you and her! Peace and Love,DenRA/Goldeneaglevideo

  • Actually, Luna was attacked, about one year after the tree was saved, with one cut that went all the way across and about 2/3 of the way through. The cut was discovered by Shunka Wakan, before the next big storm came, and steel braces were attached to the tree to keep it standing. It was an amazing collaboration between Pacific Lumber Co. and environmental groups, and Luna survived the winter storms. Luna is still standing, to this day, and is healing up well from the attack.

  • Trees give us oxygen, why cut them down when there are obvious alternatives?

  • We don't need to cut down any trees we could use hemp and get 3x the paper. The only reason we don't use hemp is because of greed.

  • Kindly regards from germany. We won´t forget her great work. Love to Julia and ALL WHO HELPED and ALL WHO ARE SUPPORTERS ! May mankind awake ;-) that would rule in thes days...

  • I love you Julia! Thank you!

  • It is wonderful what people like Julia Butterfly and Mike Bloomberg are doing to make our environment more green.

  • @CloeBuckingham Keep in mind that this video is from 1999

  • In attacking Christine Quinn for being Mayor Mike Bloomberg's Mini Me, what you fail to mention is that she endorsed Bill Thompson, not Mike Bloomberg, in the last mayoral election.

  • amazing : )
