Activists Julia Butterfly and John Quigley will host a picnic at Old Glory, the majestic 400 year old oak tree which Quigley saved from the chainsaw 13 years ago.

The picnic will be held on Sunday, March 13 at 1:30 p.m. at Pico Canyon Park, located at 25600 Pico Canyon Road.

Feel free to bring plant-based food, drinks, and a blanket as they share stories of their time living in ancient trees.

John Quigley sat in the Old Glory Oak for 72 days, saving it from a developer’s chainsaw and winning the hearts of children and adults alike in the Santa Clarita Valley and throughout the world.

However, his activism is not confined to trees: he also works on issues all over the world from climate change to globalization.

Julia Butterfly Hill is best known for having lived in a 180-foot tall, roughly 1500 year old California Redwood tree for 738 days between Dec. 10, 1997 and Dec. 18, 1999.

Hill lived in the tree, affectionately known as “Luna,” to prevent Pacific Lumber Company loggers from cutting it down.

She is the author of the best-selling book “The Legacy of Luna” and co-author of “One Makes the Difference”.
