After living in an ancient redwood for two years, environmental activist Julia "Butterfly" Hill came down to earth today. The 25-year-old woman, who has lived in the tree since Dec. 10, 1997, to protest logging, reached an agreement Friday with Pacific Lumber Co. and promised to climb down from her 18-story-high perch, which is on company property.
