Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode is based on a story Matt Selman heard on the radio about Julia Butterfly Hill, an American activist and environmentalist who lived in an old California Redwood tree known as "Luna" for over two years, between 1997 and 1999 to prevent loggers from cutting it down.
- GoofsWhen the tree is sliding down Lombard Street, the TransAmerica pyramid is shown in the background, to the west. The pyramid is actually east of that block of Lombard Street..

Featured review
One of my favorites
This episode used to be one of my all-time favorites. I still love this episode a lot, but it does lack the endearing quality of those of the earlier seasons (which someone pointed out), so I give it a 9/10.
There are just so many great Simpsons moments in this episode, SO MANY, which is why i love it so much. The best for me was probably "Take that, Lisa's beliefs!" after Bart zings Lisa by stealthy placing a Thai door-hanger menu on her nose. Also, the "Lisa's Dead! ..Unless.." is hilarious as well as the Kentucky Fried Panda and "Daughter now goes to state college, baseball caps everywhere!", and of course the closing song with the Lisa Log going cross-country!!
Ahh so many classic Simpsons moments! All of these combined with a very entertaining, spontaneous (if not exactly coherent, but that's part of the charm!) plot makes "Lisa the Tree Hugger" one of my favorite episodes.
