About The Book

In 'The Hidden Life of Trees' Peter Wohlleben shares his deep love of woods and forests and explains the amazing processes of life death and regeneration he has observed in the woodland and the amazing scientific mechanisms behind these wonders of which we are blissfully unaware. Much like human families tree parents live together with their children communicate with them and support them as they grow sharing nutrients with those who are sick or struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group. As a result of such interactions trees in a family or community are protected and can live to be very old. In contrast solitary trees like street kids have a tough time of it and in most cases die much earlier than those in a group. Drawing on groundbreaking new discoveries Wohlleben presents the science behind the secret and previously unknown life of trees and their communication abilities he describes how these discoveries have informed his own practices in the forest around him. As he says a happy forest is a healthy forest and he believes that eco-friendly practices not only are economically sustainable but also benefit the health of our planet and the mental and physical health of all who live on Earth. About the Author Peter Wohlleben spent over twenty years working for the forestry commission in Germany before leaving to put his ideas of ecology into practice. He now runs an environment-friendly woodland in Germany where he is working for the return of primeval forests. He is the author of numerous books on trees. Tim Flannery is a scientist explorer and conservationist. He is a leading writer on climate change and his books include Atmosphere of Hope and the Weather Makers.
