Sanctuary Forest Invites You to ‘Luna: A Beacon of Hope’ to Commemorate 25 Years of Preserving Redwood Tree
This is a press release from the Sanctuary Forest:
On Saturday, December 14th, Sanctuary Forest warmly invites you to join us for a very special occasion—Luna: A Beacon of Hope, an evening commemorating 25 years since the preservation of the iconic redwood tree, Luna. This heartfelt celebration will take place at the historic Scotia Lodge in Scotia, and we would be honored to have you with us.
Starting at 5 pm, VIP ticket guests will be treated to a gourmet vegetarian dinner by J Catering, followed by an exclusive talk from julia butterfly hill, whose courageous 738-day tree-sit in Luna ensured the preservation of this ancient redwood This is a rare opportunity to hear julia speak in depth about her experiences and activism journey, making for a truly memorable evening.
If you’re unable to join us for dinner, you can still be a part of the celebration! From 7-10pm, we’ll be dancing the night away with fantastic local music. Indie rock and funk sensation Wolf Tree will open the evening, followed by the spirited Jenny & David and the Sweet Soul Band, guaranteed to ger everyone moving! julia will also make a special appearance during this portion of the evening, so all attendees will have the chance to see her. Don’t forget to come prepared to bid on some amazing silent auction items!
This event marks the 25th anniversary of a remarkable achievement. In 1999, julia butterfly hill descended from Luna after spending over two years protecting her. Thanks to a historic agreement between the landowner, julia, and conservation advocates, Luna was saved through a Covenant—a conservation easement that Sanctuary Forest has lovingly upheld ever since. We have been dedicated stewards of Luna’s health and future, ensuring her place in the landscape for generations to come. Sanctuary Forest, founded in 1987 and based in Whitethorn, California, is a land and water trust dedicated to conserving and restoring the Mattole River watershed, with nearly 12,000 acres under our care.
Note: In keeping with her personal philosophy, julia butterfly hill prefers her name to be written in lowercase.

Hmm…I wonder how much the humble lower case julia is being paid for her appearance?
But it’s heartening to know that even if the proles don’t spring for a VIP ticket for the gourmet dinner and talk they’ll still have a chance to see the exalted one as she makes a cameo during the music portion of the show.
As for “the health and future” of Luna and “insuring her place in the landscape for generations to come” – will anyone ask for an update on the current state of Luna? What was the percentage of dieback after Climber Dan cut over halfway through Luna 25 years ago? Has the dieback continued? Will Luna’s future in the landscape be vertical or horizontal?
The reality is that Julia spoke for free for so long that she neglected to make a livelihood. I hope she’s being paid handsomely for her appearance. If you don’t want to attend, then don’t.
She is an amazing person. She swam against the current while moving the nation closer to the principle of conserving old growth redwood forests. BTW I initially thought she was just a dumb broad–Au contraire.
I was hoping that idiot went away.
JULIA BUTTERFLY!!!
I don’t socialize with domestic terrorists. She’ll never be anything but a terrorist to me.
Who did she terrorize? You?
Does it matter that the Boston bombers didn’t hurt me, my family, my friends? Does that mean they weren’t terrorists. Does it matter that exactly can be said of the 9 11 attacks? How about the OKC bombing? What matters is the acts, large or small that were forcing her political views on others for 738 days. She deserves the same punishment any terrorist receives, plain and simple. She’s a disgrace to humanity.
Ha, ha!
She climbed a tree!!
And that makes her a terrorist!?!
You could follow a trail of trash from Hwy 101 to Luna.
You need a dictionary.
