About this listen
A forester's fascinating stories backed by the latest scientific research illustrate how trees nurture and talk to each other. Are trees social beings?
In this international best seller - which has sold more than 320,000 copies in Germany alone - 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 you have heard The Hidden Life of Trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.

Tree-mendous! (Sorry)
This book could have been much more boring than watching grass grow. Instead it is delightful; the author's own deep love of all things arboreal convincing the reader/listener that the intimate details of (European ) forest life are far too precious to ignore. The organisation into 40-odd chapters suits the content admirably. I used Audible for this book. Beautifully read, I found myself listening to this amazing book for hours on end. Don't be put off by the seemingly boring (!) subject matter, just try it...

So interesting
I enjoyed learning all new facts about trees.
Great book for night time. I would learn some facts, keep my mind off day to day life and fall asleep not too long after starting the book. I repeated this for about 2 weeks.

Very interesting
This book makes one consider tree and forestry management more as integrated organisms than singular specimens. Not sure I entirely agree with the premises put forward, but it's worth listening for the research supporting the arguments proposed & outcomes of differences in management.

Trees are more interesting than you'd think
I am now more interested than I ever would have thought possible about trees. Well written book about a topic I've never given any thought too.
