Ramos - Module 3 Lesson 1

Julia "Butterfly" Hill lived in a 600-1,000 year old, 180-foot-tall redwood tree for over 2 years to prevent a lumber company from cutting it down. Her perspective fits with the environmental movement as she wanted to preserve the tree and protect wilderness. The lumber company, as landowners, wanted to cut the tree to enhance economic growth. Ecologists believe logging old-growth trees causes damage as these trees provide important roles and benefits to the forest ecosystem and wildlife.

What is happening in this picture?

Julia “Butterfly” Hill lived in this 600–1,000-year-old, 180-foot-tall California


redwood for more than 2 years in the late 1990s, to keep a lumber company
from cutting down the tree.

1. Would Hill’s perspective on wilderness better fit the wise-use


movement or the environmental movement?

 Hill’s perspective on wilderness is better fit to the environmental


movement because she wants to support that trees and lands
should be preserved and protect by people to maintain the
beauty of nature of the country, because she believes that
country must be treasured and should be treat nicely to take
care it well.

2. Explain the likely differences in the perspectives of Hill and the lumber
company, especially given that the tree is on the company’s land.

 Hill’s perspective differs from the lumber company because she


believes that all things, plants should be preserved and protect
even if it is planted and owned by others or the company unlike
the lumber company their perspectives is to cut the tree
because they are the owner and they have the power to cut
because they believes the purpose of trees and lands is to
develop and enhance economic growth.

3. Based on issues faced in Tongass National Forest, why do ecologists


and environmentalists think that the logging of old-growth trees causes
particular damage?
 Ecologists and environmentalists think that the logging of old-
growth trees causes particular damage because these trees
help us in our daily needs and also it gives an important role in
the forest and also to the wildlife animals. Once the old threes
has-been logging then it will give a negative impact to all not just
for the people or wildlife habitats but also it ruins our mother
nature that all of us will suffer in the end.
