Treadwell grew up in San Francisco, where he felt he was called to protect the environment. He began his activism in high school, volunteering with the Sierra Club, which was founded in 1892. He also became an outspoken opponent of the use of ivory in jewelry and other items, leading to an arrest for trespassing on sacred land.
At age 17, he started living out of his van, building a cabin on the shore of Lake Tahoe. He started documenting his life, which eventually became the book "Alone With All The Animals."

Timothy Treadwell (born Timothy William Dexter; April 29, 1957 – October 5, 2003) was an American bear enthusiast, environmentalist, and documentary filmmaker and founder of the bear-protection organization Grizzly People. He lived among grizzly bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska for 13 summers. At the end of his 13th summer in the park, in 2003, he and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were killed and almost fully eaten by a 28-year-old brown bear, whose stomach was later found to contain human remains and clothing. Treadwell's life, work, and death were the subject of Werner Herzog's critically acclaimed documentary film Grizzly Man (2005).
