The Redwood Forest

By Louise

The Redwood Forest is a forest with red trees in California, USA. In the 20^th century, a girl, named Julia and her friends came to the Redwood Forest. The trees were very big and tall. They were beautiful. They saw that there were red crosses on lots of trees. That means that the woodcutters were cutting lots of trees. The girls were sad, especialy Julia.

They saw the biggest tree. It was as large as a room. They were impressed. When Julia saw it, she fell in love with it. She named it Luna. She turned around and saw a red cross. She couldn’t believe it.

She saw a small platform on the tree. She said that she would stay there to protect Luna. The woodcutters couldn’t cut Luna if there were someone on it. Some people helped Julia to rebuild the platform. She climbed the ladder, but she didn’t know that she wasn’t going to come down for months.

She was alone on the platform because there wasn’t any extra space. On the platform there was a small tent. The first, days a squirrel ate her food. She was a little bit angry, but the first time she saw it she found it so cute that they became friends. The squirel was always with her and sometimes they were shared their food.

During the day some people were on the ground and were helping Julia because she was alone. During the night the woodcutters were threw rocks at her. When there were storms, Julia held Luna so she wouldn’t fall. She learned fast how to climb in the branches.

One day the woodcutters said that they wouldn’t cut the trees. Julia didn’t trust them, so some days later the cheif of the woodcutters signed a paper that said that they won’t cut the trees. Julia finally got down. It took her a little bit of time to walk.

Some days later, someone cut a little bit of Luna so the tree would die. The woodcutters were forced to cut Luna because if it died slowly it would fall on people or other trees. We still don’t know who did that but Julia was very sad.
