The woman who lived in the tree

Julia Hill, an American woman, was born in 1974. She was 23 years old when she
discovered that a company wanted to cut down part of a forest in California. In the forest
there were lots of redwood trees. One of the tree was 70 metres tall and 1.000 years old.
Julia wasn’t happy about this. She travelled to California and climbed up the tree. Julia
planned to stay in the trees for two weeks. She lived in a small tree house and her friends
were very helpful – they cooked for her. She used her mobile to talk to her family and news
reporters. She stayed in the tree day and night.
In the end she was successful. The company agreed not to cut the redwood tree. Julia
climbed down and walked on the ground again. She and her friends were very happy.
