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 project’s 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.

I am worried they may have some disease that may kill the trees.
Retarded commie hippies will look for any goofy reason to take off their clothes in public. I hope they aren’t letting these retard buy guns.
“Gas, cash or ash”? Them’s some well fed hippies.
and this helps how????????
That’s gonna leave a mark — on the poor tree!
Has anybody told them that eucalyptus trees are an invasive species?
The tree is thinking get these stupid naked f@cks off me!
This is the time to take that hornets nest and smack it into the tree.
Fat, flabby, disgusting, repulsive liberals molesting trees. Can you imagine the diseases? Those trees will need penicillin shots for a month.
Why, God? Why?
Best envirowhacko video ever.
So THAT’s what they mean by “morning wood”.
The trees are gonna need therapy for YEARS.
Will we see this as an episode of Law & Order-Special Victims Unit?
Just think....These friggin’ people can vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor trees!!
Very sad. The not-wearing-clothes act is old and has been going on for twenty years.
My grandmother and father are from Berkeley and attended St. Joseph the Worker parish on Addison street. Both watched the two bridges get built in 1930s and were very thankful that Joseph Strauss, contractor for the Golden Gate, was careful to prevent accidents. My father told me that Oakland was always blue collar (ships), San Francisco was always art and finance, and Berkeley was always classy and intellectual.
One day I asked him why Berkeley has fruits, nuts and flakes today. He said the baby boom generation overwhelmed the adults, the hippies wore long hair and peace signs to prevent getting beat up by blacks in the 60’s, and the Italian Mafia supplied the Free Speech movement with drugs.
Lots of white kids, some black criminals and lots drugs = 1960s.
Thankfully, Cal (1867) has brilliant faculty and students. A lot of young faculty leave Berkeley, since the schools are pretty bad for their kids.
Ok....so now they are f’n trees..?
Time to clean this mess up...
Well, as we speak, the "Falsifying Fiendish Five" on the supreme court are said to be feverishly working to fabricate a new marriage right in the US Constitution, so that these tree-huggers can do the same thing this man has done...
