She [Butterfly Hill] came down in 1999 after Pacific Lumber Co. agreed to leave the tree standing in return for $50,000 to make up for lost logging revenue.

As a follow up, Butterfly called her tree - "Luna." Not long after she came down from "Luna" someone made some serious cuts on "Luna" and almost killed the tree. I'm surprised no one called this a "hate" crime. (Yipes! I might give these tree huggers some ideas.)

Too late! They've been using that absurd canard since a few days after the incident. Check this quote from the official Julia Butterfly No-Life Professional Agitator Hill website, located at: http://www.circleoflifefoundation.org/lunanews/

What You Can Do for Luna FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2000 Thank you for all of the prayers and concern that you have shown for Luna. Many people have expressed a desire to make a pilgrimage to Luna. She is extremely vulnerable and we are concerned about any unnecessary pressure to her root system. The grove surrounding Luna is also a crime site and as you can imagine we don't want to inadvertently destroy any evidence about the perpetrators of this hate crime. Julia suggests that anyone who wants to visit Luna plant a tree in honor of what Luna symbolizes: perseverance, strength and healing. Read more.

Read more? As in "books"?

But ... but ... but don't books use paper? And isn't paper made from ... (gasp!) ... wood? And doesn't wood come from ... (oh, no!) ... trees? Oh, the humanity of murdering those stately living creatures only for ... books!
