Description

Luna is a 200 ft tall redwood tree that towers on a ridge deep within a privately owned forest in northern California. You may remember Julia Butterfly Hill's remarkable 2-year "tree sit" in the 1990's that helped save the tree and shed light on the indiscriminate clearcutting of redwood forests. But after an agreement was reached to save the redwood and the national news media left, another crisis arose that threatened Luna's existence, introduced new heroes, and ushered in a new era of collaboration.GuestsStuart MoskowitzBoard Member and lead "Luna Covenant" monitor, Sanctuary ForestWhitethorn, CAsanctuaryforest.orgDennis YniguezRegistered Consulting Arborist, Tree DecisionsBerkely, CAtreedecisions.comTree Story ShortCarol KingsburyBooks About Luna and Redwood TreesCook, Diane, and Len Jenshel.   Wise Trees.  Abrams Books.  New York.  2017.Davis, Erik.  The Visionary State: A Journey Through California’s Spiritual Landscape.
