One of her scariest times was a 16-hour, 70-mph windstorm. The wind shredded the tarps that surrounded her, and even ripped huge branches off the tree. Sleet and hail sliced through the tattered pieces of what used to be her roof and walls.

The logging company resolved to starve her out or drive her away. They hired 24-hour security guards to harass her and to ensure her support team couldn’t deliver her supplies. She was menaced with a helicopter at a dangerously close range. She was verbally abused, threatened with violence, rape and death, kept awake with floodlights, and bugles and air horns were blown through the night.

A huge 20-ft-high mudslide carried trees, stumps and debris from that hillside down into the town, leaving seven families without homes.

After her car accident, Hill's value of life really changed. As she expressed it, the event was a wake-up call and she started to raise awareness of the Redwood forest's situation by a 768 days campaign. She started prioritising the spiritual and moral virtues rather than jobs, money and social standards.

The amenities to support Hill's life in the tree were a sleeping bag, a solar-powered cell phone for media interviews, and a single-burner propane stove to cook and heat water.

Regular cutting and decreasing of redwood trees made Hill start her mega campaign to save redwood trees.

Julia Butterfly Hill is an American Environmental activist as well as tax redirection advocate. Hill's campaign gained popularity because she lived in a tree for 738 days in an act of civil disobedience to prevent clear-cutting of the ecologically significant forest.
