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.
