Sometime in the week prior to Thanksgiving, anti-tree terrorists attacked the famous tree, Luna, in which Julia Butterly lived for over two years. The terrorists attacked the ancient redwood tree with a chainsaw which etched a 32" deep cut around the circumference of the tree. Forestry experts at press time were unable to confirm how long the tree would live, but efforts are being made to shore up the tree to be able to withstand winter storms, which can be extremely heavy in the Northern California Headwaters Forest area. Julia Butterfly Hill went to visit the tree on Thursday, November 29th, and promised to talk to the press afterwards. This is indeed a very sad commentary on the human race. - js

During the time that Anne Frank spent in hiding there was only one object outside the house she could look at: a chestnut tree. This chestnut tree is going down tomorrow, if a judge doesn't decide otherwise today. The decision to take it down was made months ago, but now as the date draws near, the efforts to salvage it are becoming increasingly apparent. The reason for it to be taken down, is that the tree is sick, dying, and hollow. It won't survivemany more storms, thusposing a threat to surrounding houses and parked cars. Yesterday a tree-pulling test was performedhowever, that showed that the tree is strong enough to remain in its position for many more years.
