Product Details

How do trees live? Do they feel pain, or have awareness of their surroundings? Research is now suggesting trees are capable of much more than we have ever known. In The Hidden Life of Trees , forester Peter Wohlleben puts groundbreaking scientific discoveries into a language everyone can relate to. In The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben shares his deep love of woods and forestsand explains the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed inthe woodland and the amazing scientific processes behind the wonders of which we areblissfully unaware. Much like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate withthem, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are sick orstruggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat andcold for the whole group. As a result of such interactions, trees in a family or communityare protected and can live to be very old. In contrast, solitary trees, like street kids, have atough time of it and in most cases die much earlier than those in a group.Drawing on groundbreaking new discoveries, Wohlleben presents the science behind thesecret and previously unknown life of trees and their communication abilities; he describeshow these discoveries have informed his own practices in the forest around him. As hesays, a happy forest is a healthy forest, and he believes that eco-friendly practices not only are economically sustainable but also benefit the health of our planet and the mental andphysical health of all who live on Earth.After a walk through the woods with Wohlleben, you’ll never look at trees the same wayagain.
