[[Tree sitting]] is a form of activism in which the protester sits in a tree in an attempt to stop the removal of a tree or to impede the demolition of an area with the longest and most famous tree-sitter being [[Julia Butterfly Hill]], who spent 738 days in a California Redwood, saving a three-acre tract of forest.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Fountain |first=Henry |date=18 June 2006 |title=Rising Above the Environmental Debate |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/18/weekinreview/18basic.html |work=The New York Times}}</ref> Also notable is the [[Yellow Finch tree sit]], which was a 932-day blockade of the [[Mountain Valley Pipeline]] from 2018 to 2021.<ref name=":02">{{Cite news |last=Hammack |first=Laurence |date=12 November 2020 |title=Judge orders tree-sitters down after more than 2 years |url=https://roanoke.com/business/local/judge-orders-tree-sitters-down-after-more-than-2-years/article_3a53db1a-250b-11eb-8b06-4bf4a91a32cc.html |work=The Roanoke Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Dhillon |first=Matt |date=16 April 2021 |title=Last Tree-sitters Removed from Path of Mountain Valley Pipeline |url=https://appvoices.org/2021/04/16/tree-sitters-removed-mvp/ |work=The Appalachian Voice}}</ref>

[[Sit-in|Sit-ins]] can be used to encourage social change, such as the Greensboro sit-ins, a series of protests in 1960 to stop racial segregation, but can also be used in ecoactivism, as in the [[Dakota Access Pipeline]] Protest.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Mele |first=Christopher |date=2016 |title=Veterans To Serve as 'Human Shields' for Dakota Pipeline Protestors |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/us/veterans-to-serve-as-human-shields-for-pipeline-protesters.html?_r=0 |work=The New York Times}}</ref>
