Luna, Julia, and the Survival of the Forest
Julia Butterfly Hill has been living in a 1000 year old redwood tree called Luna for one year. She has protected Luna from being logged and has become an eloquent spokesperson for the movement to save the last remaining stands of old growth redwood forest in California. This is the longest tree-sit in history. Julia has not touched the ground since December 10, 1997. We recorded this program one week before Julia’s one year anniversary. We climbed 100 feet up into the tree to speak with Julia.

Dennis Martinez: Restoring a Forest – with fire and love
The forest at the Mountain Grove Center For New Education, near Glendale in SW Oregon was clear-cut in the 1930s and 40s. It has come back thick, young, and dark. When Indians cared for the land the old growth incense cedars and chinquapins were spaced widely, plants thrived on the sun-lit forest floor, and animals found shelter and food. Dennis Martinez knows about Indian forest practice and he is restoring this land.
