About Julia Butterfly Hill....
Julia Butterfly Hill brought international attention to the plight of
the world’s last remaining ancient forests when she climbed 180 feet
into the branches of a 1000 year-old redwood tree and refused to come
down. Her historic protest to the environmental destruction
caused by the clear-cutting of ancient redwoods culminated after 738
days with an agreement that provided permanent protection for the tree
known as Luna and a 3 acre buffer-zone around it.
Julia Butterfly Hill is an activist, a writer and a poet. She is
the author of the national best seller The Legacy of Luna and the
co-author of One Makes The Difference, both published by Harper
SanFrancisco. The audio release, Spiritual Activation,
captures Julia’s vital message as it is given at standing-room-only
appearances across the country. All of Julia’s books (and the
packaging for the CD) have been published with 100% post-consumer
recycled paper with soy-based inks and chlorine-free processing,
pushing the publishing industry to a higher standard of ecological
sustainability.
The recipient of numerous prestigious awards and distinctive honors,
Julia Butterfly Hill is one of the most internationally recognizable
figures in environmental activism.
Julia’s book, The Legacy of Luna, based on her personal account of the
Luna tree-sit action, will soon be made into a major motion
picture. The film’s producing team, whose credits include RAY,
GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK, ADAPTATION AND SYRIANA among others, have
publicly announced their commitment to setting a “green set” standard
for the film industry with this project. It is evident that Julia
is once again leaving an indelible mark on yet another industry, this
time Hollywood.
Julia founded the non-profit organization, Circle of Life
(www.circleoflife.org) to promote the sustainability, restoration and
preservation of life. She is also the brainchild behind We The Planet
(www.wetheplanet.org), a programmatic project of Circle of Life.
Julia Butterfly Hill speaks regularly on university campuses, has
addressed the United Nations, lobbied congress, and has continued to
stand on the front lines of environmental and social justice issues all
over the world. Her courage, conviction and profound clarity in
articulating a message of hope, empowerment and love and respect for
all life has inspired millions of people worldwide.
Julia will be speaking at 12:30pm on Sunday Nov. 5th in the Expo Theater.
