The SPI timber company owns 1.9 million acres, making it the second largest private landowner in North America. The bulk of this land lies in the forests of northern California. The company’s logging practices are certified sustainable by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. Earth First! is an international movement dedicated to using direct action to protect threatened ecosystems from runaway resource extraction. The activists cite two examples of SPI’s clear-cutting and old-growth logging plans in Humboldt County. One, a 245 acre logging plan in the Mattole River and Bear River watersheds, and another in Redwood Creek totaling 241 acres. Earth First is the leader in organizing tree sits throughout the US.

Dancing in the Treetops
The geodesic sphere ground structures are quick to assemble in any terrain. Depicted here are five Sequoia Model structures in a circle with interconnecting walk ways. The structures make for a great application of community living, meditation or spa activities. With native landscaping the footings can be bursting with life and greenery. Wether your choice of flora & fauna is a creeping conifer, forest ferns or a food garden the geodesic architecture makes for a architecturally interesting backdrop and arbor. Vines can be trained up and along the geodesic structure to engulf the facade transforming it into a 360 garden environment. Think of the possibilities, this is just on the ground!

Treehuggers is a new series concept developed and produced by Ronin Media House.
It chronicles the work of Dustin Feider of O2 Treehouse and his unique crew of tree house builders. With O2 Treehouse, Dustin, JP, Mark, and Marley create and build both custom and pre-designed architectural tree houses in a sustainable fashion with a cradle-to-cradle ethic.
This work has taken Dustin and the O2 Treehouse crew across the country and is currently in process of expanding beyond borders into international eco tourism.
