You’ll never experience a walk in the forest the same way again after viewing this eighteen minute TED Talks lecture (June, 2016) by professor of ecology Suzanne Simard who explains how she used hard science (while out-running grizzlies) to discover trees talk to each other. From identifying “mother trees”, the hubs of vast symbiotic mycorrhizal networks, to suggesting ways to regenerate forests battling climate change, Simard clearly outlines how we need to change our relationships with these “supercooperators”.

Algernon Blackwood has had similar realisations as Peter Wohlleben and Suzanne Simard and continued that thread into his fiction. I have offered this at this link:

I just read a book by Peter Wohlleben, called Das geheime Leben der Bäume (the secret life of trees) stating pretty much the same. Great and eye-opening read.
