Are trees social beings? In this international bestseller, forester and
author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest
is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries
to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live
together with their children, communicate with them, support them as
they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and
even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his
deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of
life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland. After learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.
