Biography:
Julia Butterfly Hill (born February 18, 1974) is an American activist and environmentalist. Hill is best known for living in a 180-foot (55 m)-tall, 600-year-old California Redwood tree for 738 days between December 10, 1997 and 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. She was awarded the Courage of Conscience award October 31, 2002. In 1999, Hill and other activists founded the organization Circle of Life Foundation.
A film about Hill called Luna is scheduled to be released in 2009, directed by noted Indian director, Deepa Mehta, who is in talks with Rachel Weisz to star as Hill.
