That's a good one! A bit of an exaggeration, but hilarious. Tree huggers are responsible for their own fate. One young woman found it necessary to sit in a tree for weeks in a project that I initiated down in Oregon for the harvest of 130 year old trees (hardly old-growth). By this time, I'm glad to say, I had moved on and watched the proceedings from afar. The project that I was given 9 months to bring to approval took three years to get through the system after I transferred to Alaska. Many modifications were necessary in order to placate the environmentalists, but they did nothing to help the environment. Still they were not satisfied. This young woman climbed up a tree and stayed there, hoping that her presence would prevent a project that had been through an Environmental Impact Statement analysis and the entire appeal process. After a week or so, she fell out of the tree to her death. It was a senseless tragedy, attributable only to her own behavior, and had no beneficial effect on that project or any other.
