Can trees talk to each other? Do mothertrees care lovingly for their children and for their old and dying neighbours? Do trees in a forest live together as a community and fight off enemies? German forester and bestselling book author Peter Wohlleben has observed that the secret life of trees is in fact quite similar to our own. Researchers from the University of British Columbia have been investigating communication between trees and made the most astonishing discoveries … Under the forest floor lies the WOOD WIDE WEB, a fascinating network over which trees communicate, share information and even wisdom with each other.This documentary digs deep into this underground society and bridges the gap between a forester‘s observations and scientific research.
