In the canopy of a 200 foot ancient redwood, Julia "Butterfly", a forest activist, gazes out over the sinuous Eel River near Scotia in Northern California. Second growth forest and burnt out stumps of trees, residual remains of recent clearcutting, are ranged on the slopes and in the valley below. It's been almost a year. And like Italo Calvino's 'Baron in the Trees', Julia won't come down. Her feet won't touch the ground, she states emphatically, untill the tree known as Luna, is safe from the chainsaw.
