Tree house

The girl lived two years in a tree to protect him.

In 1997, a girl named Julia hill decided to save the tree, which gave the name of the Moon. Mahogany in height more than 60 meters, age more than 500 years planned to cut the company Pacific Lumber and has even started to do it - chainsaw managed to pass hundreds of rings. Julia saved the tree by making it her home for 738 days.

December 10, 1997 23-year-old Julia climbed a tree. Her new house was located 50 meters above the ground. On a total area of 3 square meters there was everything that could be needed for living on a tree - a small stove, a kitchen, a bathroom equipped with a device for collecting rainwater and even its shower. And of course the paint and canvas. There she spent the next 2 years.

She managed to save the red giant from destruction. It eventually caused such a massacre that the company had to stop sawing trees all over Stanford, California.

Thus, she drew public attention to one of the most serious problems of our time — the problem of widespread deforestation.

Today, Julia is actively involved in environmental and animal protection organizations.

We are very much dependent on trees, although we do not notice and do not realize this. Taking trees for granted, we don't understand that one day they may disappear forever.
