Keynote Speaker:
Julia Butterfly Hill
|
|
| For 738 days forest
activist Julia Butterfly Hill lived 180 feet high in the canopy
of an ancient redwood tree to help make the world aware of the plight
of ancient forests. Julia, with great help from
steelworkers and environmentalists,
successfully negotiated to permanently protect the tree and
a nearly three-acre buffer zone. She came down to a world that
recognized her as a heroine and powerful voice for the
environment. Julia founded the Circle
of Life Foundation in 1999.
We are honored to have such a person as our guest
speaker! |
