		The first treesit in defense of forests in the Western United States occurred in 1985, when Oregon’s Cathedral Forest was being cut by Williamette Industries.
		Treesits continue to take place across the country, as hundreds of mainly young people take to the trees to try to protect the places they love.
		For example, in one group of treesits in 1999, the ground support crews were made up primarily of loggers and their families from the small town of Randall, Washington, who were opposing the cutting of the forest on Watch Mountain above their community by a distant corporation, Plum Creek Timber Company.

		Wednesday Nov 24th, 2004 10:27 AM Above blurb "cost of treesitting" wasn't written by me. Someone else chose to use "moth" as their name, (who am i to copyright such a diverse group of insects), but probably did so with the intent to cause divisiveness in the movement..
		Yes, treesitting actually does cost some $$ and energy (transporting food, etc.), though we probably wouldn't be doing it if Maxxam/Pacific Lumber weren't destroying the last few old growth forests, causing stream sedimentation, etc..
		Not to mention all the trees removed from the redwood forest carbon cycle, a dead tree supplies soil food nutrients for the trees of the future, and Maxxam took them all far far away for personal financial gain!!

	Santa Cruz Indymedia: Treesitter Dies Defending Ramsey Gulch Ecosystem
		The location of the treesit, the Ramsey 2 Timber Harvest Plan in southern Santa Cruz county near Corallitos, is opposed by many local environmentalists, federal, state and county agencies.
		The treesits in Ramsey 2 THP were established almost 2 months ago in the area where logging is going on.
		Something I've learned from Horehound's death was that there are certain groundrules for tree sits, basically that people have got to be trained both medically and in at least medium level rigging, there should always be enabled comm devices and there should never be less than two people in a tree sit.

		The Ashland Garden Club has donated a tree to the library in honor of Anna E. Hirst, who was a good friend of the library.
		It is a Ginkgo tree so the silly treesitting protester and his supply group can go away.
		It is a male specimen, to avoid the trouble there was before, with sticky ill-smelling fruit, which seemed to be falling forever.

		Looking for other options in addition to treesitting needs to happen regardless.
		For various reasons, a majority of the US population will be physically, mentally or emotionally unable to directly participate in treesitting.
		That doesn't mean that they don't care about the destruction of the redwoods ecosystem by Maxxam/PL. It usually indicates that there are no other options for involvement besides treesitting and the occasional roadblock being offered.

		it also completely ignores the history of treesitting, which is a pacifist answer to the practice of treespiking, which can harm loggers.
		Posted by: Ben Hunt on February 23, 2006 11:49 AM Getting back on the subject, and apologies for the derail (I think I agree with Ben on how treesitting should be done, if it must be done.), this temporary treehouse could be very, very useful for park rangers and canopy biologists.
		Posted by: Pace Arko on February 23, 2006 2:19 PM i hope he consults an arborist before getting much further on these because those attachment points look like a sure way to girdle the cambium layer and kill the tree.

		ground crew (which originally she was completely ignorant of - as if treesitting was the hard part).
		This was related to the complaint about other treesits and groundcrews being generally overlooked by the media (probably because they take a more hard-line and necessary position).
		The media would rather focus on a pretty face with a shallow and simplistic message.
