The Legacy of Luna is a book written by Julia Butterfly Hill about her experiences while protecting a tree named "Luna." It is based on a true story, written like a diary of two years spent in an ancient redwood.[1]
The book was published by HarperCollins Publishers Inc. in 2000.
A film adaptation of The Legacy of Luna called Luna is scheduled to be released in 2010, directed by Deepa Mehta. Rachel Weisz is set to star as Hill and has actively worked towards getting the project off the ground.[2]
