Yes, scientists have discovered that plants can actually talk to each other. This short animated film, commissioned by BBC World Service, explores what has been nicknamed "The Wood Wide Web" - the intricate fungal network connecting plants across entire forests. "Trees are "social creatures" that communicate with each other in cooperative ways that hold lessons for humans, too." ~ Ecologist Suzanne Simard.

    It confirms so much of what I like to "babble" about with friends. The importance of the old growth is so so so important.

    I have been reading the book "The Secret Lives of Trees" - it explains this much more broadly and in depth - so fascinating !!

    This concept is so amazing and holds such promise to build understanding of the importance of intact forests. Have a look at Suzanne Simard's new book "Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest", in which she describes her journey to discovering this amazing underground network. It just came out in May 2021. There is also a major film about her planned, starring Amy Adams.

    Reminds me of the wonderful novel "The Overstory" by Richard Powers. A must read for nature lovers and especially for nature haters too!!!

    I love that it offers yet one more resource showing how all of us are interconnected. And that all those trees I hugged (yes, I really did) as a teenager may have actually known that :)
