Hippies Get Naked, Hug Tree
There was some naked tree hugging in Berkeley on Saturday, even though it was cold out, and someone took lots of pictures.
Seventy-eight performance artists, models, protesters and their supporters stripped down for the camera in a grove of oak trees at UC Berkeley that could fall to make room for an athletic training center. Asked how getting naked might help to save the beloved oak tree, one dazed protestor smiled and answered “Toally”.
The au-naturel visitors joined a half-dozen activists who have lived in the trees since December to protest Cal’s plan to raze the grove near Memorial Stadium.
In an ironic twist, the health of the oak grove has been waning recently. Leaves of the mighty trees have been poisoned by a leathal coating of petrulli oil.
