Activists at the University of California at Berkeley got naked on Saturday to show their love for nearby trees that authorities are planning to cut own.
About 50 people showed up at a grove of eucalyptus trees on the campus of UC-Berkeley, stripped off their clothes, and began to intimately interact with the trees in the grove for the benefit of photographer Jack Gescheidt.
The nudity was organized by Gescheidt as part of his Tree Spirit Project, an effort to create fine art photographs by, well, taking pictures of naked people while they cavort about in nature. The projects website describes it as an attempt to raise awareness of the critical role trees play in our lives, both globally and pesonally [sic].
The Berkeley photoshoot was held in order to protest a plan by authorities in Oakland, UC-Berkeley, and the East Bay Regional Park District to cut down thousands of trees in the area. The plan, which has FEMA approval and could start by the end of August, is allegedly needed for both fire prevention and to check the spread of the invasive eucalyptus tree. Wildfires are no petty concern for the area. In 1991, a firestorm tore through Oakland and Berkeley, torching over 1,500 acres of land along with 2,800 homes. 25 people were killed.

HEY!!! No barf alert. I’m ready to eat my low fiber diet for a Colonoscopy that I will be having in 3 days. Good Lord Cellulite, do these people think they have hot bodies to be going naked. sigh
Tree Spirits? Im thinking it was more along the lines of Corn mash.
*dry heave*
Perpetually adolescent idiots.
Those people should be arrested for sexually assaulting a tree!
How come Hooter's girls can't get naked for a cause?
Good golly!
Getting the Supremes to allow them to marry the same sex isn’t enough for them; now they want to make love to trees?
Hopefully, that tree has a large growth of poison Sumac on it.
itch it, tree huggers !
LOL!
If that tree didn’t have fungus before, it does now.
Freaks. And undoubtedly jobless.
Intimately interact with the trees while naked?
This mental image is just too much.
Bet you can’t even be arrested in Berkley for this behavior either.
Did that REALLY have to be posted? A bunch of fat, middle age hippies posing naked on trees? Give me a break!
I heard one guy look over at the trees and said in amazement “where the hell did all of those f_c_king trees come from!”
I have a honey locust tree in my front yard I would love to watch them try that on.
