Created Jun 8 2006 - 9:29am

Julia's first several months in the tree prove to be torturous; from the attacks of Pacific Lumber to eighteen-hour violent storms to freezing temperatures, the challenges are plentiful. In this episode, Julia discusses the lessons learned from her unbelievable struggle.

This award-winning documentary reveals the extraordinary transformation and spiritual journey of a 23-year-old woman who climbed 200 feet up into a redwood tree and lived there for two years in order to save the thousand-year-old-tree from destruction. Julia lived on a platform the size of a coffee table, survived the ordeal of menacing helicopters, and was nearly blown off the tree and thrown to the forest floor by 90 MPH winds. As a result of her courageous act of civil disobedience, Julia is the youngest person thus far inducted into the Ecology Hall of Fame.
