The Woman Who Lived In A Tree


           This article is about Julia Hill, an American woman. She was born in 1974. She was discovered that a company wanted to cut down part of a forest in California. Julia wasn't happy about this. She travelled to California and climbed up the tree. At the beginning, Julia planned to stay in the tree for two weeks. She lived in a small tree-house and her friends were very helpful- they cooked food for her everyday. She stayed in the tree day and night. Environmental organisations supported her, but other people weren't on her side and they tried to stop her. The company used helicopter that stayed near her tree-house for a long time. She didn't like it because it was very noisy but she still stayed in the tree. In the end. she was successful. The company agreed not to cut down the redwood. Finally. after two years and eight days in the tree, Julia Hill climbed down and walked on the ground again. She and her friends were very happy.
