Tre Arrow, (born Michael James Scarpitti in 1974), a Florida native, is an environmental activist and politician who gained prominence in the U.S. state of Oregon in the late 1990s.
Arrow is currently imprisoned in Canada, pending extradition by the United States Government to face charges of arson and conspiracy.
Arrow first came to attention of police and international media in July 2000 when he scaled a U.S. Forest Service building in downtown Portland, Oregon and lived on a ledge for 11 days, to protest the plan to log near Eagle Creek, Oregon.[1] His protest played an important role in reversing the Forest Service's plans to log the area.[2]
Arrow ran for Congress in 2000 and received 15,000 votes as a Pacific Green Party[3] candidate.
In October 2001, he suffered a broken pelvis, broken ribs and a concussion when he fell 60 feet from a hemlock tree where he had perched to protest a logging sale in Tillamook County.[1] Arrow's supporters blame his fall on the Oregon Department of Forestry's use of sleep deprivation techniques during Arrow's tree sit.
