In 2011 Andrea Bowers was arrested, with three other activists, for climbing into the trees of a native oak woodland habitat in Arcadia, CA and trying to save a pristine forest of 250 trees from being clearcut by the county of Los Angeles. Ultimately, she was arrested and placed in jail for two days. Bowers videotaped the entire experience until the sheriffs took her camera into evidence. The result is a video, "I Plan to Stay a Believer" (2013) that includes her footage, news footage and the sheriff department’s recordings. Tree sitting is a form of environmentalist civil disobedience in which a protester sits in a tree, usually on a small platform built for the purpose, to protect it from being cut down.
