Hill lived in the tree for two years and succeeded in preventing it from being cut down by loggers. The details of Lisa's day-to-day existence in her tree (such as hauling supplies up to her tent by a rope) are very similar to Hill's.
  • When the giant log destroys Kentucky Fried Panda, Homer exclaims "No! It was finger-ling-ling good!", which is a reference to Kentucky Fried Chicken and its slogan, "Finger-Lickin' Good", and to either or both of two famous giant pandas named Ling-Ling:
