'''Tree sitting''' is a form of [[environmentalism|environmentalist]] [[civil disobedience]] in which a protester sits in a tree, usually on a small platform built for the purpose, to protect it from being cut down (speculating that [[logging|loggers]] will not endanger human lives by cutting an occupied tree). Supporters usually provide the tree sitters with food and other supplies.
