The Heartbeat of Trees is an interesting book that gives many examples of how trees are more like us than we had ever imagined. The author hopes by reading this book we will begin to have an affinity for trees and do more to protect them. So branch out on a March night for a lively discussion facilitated by the University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardeners.
Book Description: "A powerful return to the forest, where trees have heartbeats and roots are like brains that extend underground. Where the color green calms us, and the forest sharpens our senses.
In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new scientific discoveries to show how humans are deeply connected to the natural world. In an era of cell phone addiction, climate change, and urban life, many of us fear we’ve lost our connection to nature—but Peter Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties linking humans to the forest remain alive and intact.
Drawing on science and cutting-edge research, The Heartbeat of Trees reveals the profound interactions humans can have with nature, exploring:
the language of the forest
the consciousness of plants
and the eroding boundary between flora and fauna."
