Butterfly is her midden name
On December 10, 1997, Julia Hill ascended an ancient giant redwood tree in Humboldt County, CA to protest and draw attention to the mismanagement of old-growth timberland. On December 15, 1999, she entered into agreement with PALCO (Pacific Lumber Company) that the redwood (variously known as "the Stafford Giant", to locals, and "Luna", to Julia and her Earth First! supporters) and the ecosystem in which it grows (about 3 acres), shall be protected and preserved in perpetuity.
Julia spent most of those two years perched at least 180 feet above the forest floor, enduring harrassment from Pacific Lumber employees, surviving El Nino storms, giving interviews and contributing to the Earth First! cause.

Julia Butterfly Hill (born February 18, 1974) is an American activist and environmentalist. Hill is best known for living in a 180-foot-tall, 600-year-old California Redwood tree for 738 days between December 10, 1997 to December 18, 1999. Hill lived barefoot in the tree, affectionately known as "Luna," to prevent loggers of the Pacific Lumber Company from cutting it down.
A native of Jonesboro, Arkansas, Hill suffered a mild brain injury in a car crash a year before her tree-sitting experience[1]. She embarked on a spiritual quest afterwards, rejected the faith of her childhood and came away believing that we could transform ourselves; this eventually led her to the environmental cause opposed to the destruction of the redwood forests in Humboldt County, California
She wants we think for us future
In 1999, Hill and other activists founded the organization Circle of Life Foundation
By standing together in unity, solidarity and love we will heal the wounds in the earth and in each other. We can make a positive difference through our actions.”

hey guys i found this information i think is very interesting...
Luna is the American name given to a redwood tree in October 1997. Another name the tree has been referred to is the 'Stafford Giant.' The tree is between 600 and 1000 years old and lives in a grove of old growth forest in Headwaters Forest in Humboldt County, California near the small community of Stafford, California.
As of spring 2007, the tree is doing well with new growth each year. Caretakers routinely climb the tree to check on its condition and to maintain the steel guywires.[2]
Her nick name was Butterfly! Not Luna
Hill climbed Luna in 1997 as a protest to the logging of ancient redwood trees by Pacific Lumber, a timber company owned by Texas financier Charles Hurwitz. She stayed in the tree for two years, drawing international media attention from her treetop perch.
As of spring 2007, the tree is doing well with new growth each year. Caretakers routinely climb the tree to check on its condition and to maintain the steel guywires.[2]
Friend of the Earth" features a female character who spends three years 180 feet up in a tree named "Artemis", an obvious reference to Julia and Luna.

From her tree-sit, Julia Butterfly has won the Leonard Peltier Protector of the Woods Award and the Garberville Veterans for Peace Medal of Valor, from which the cover art was taken. A gathering of support for her took place on March 20, her 100th day in Luna and the first day of Spring, at the Stafford mudslide, two miles from the main Maxxam/Pacific Lumber mill, 240 miles north of San Francisco.
