Hidden Life of Trees

Are trees social beings? In this international bestseller, 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 learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.

This is the first book in New York Times bestselling author Peter Wohlleben’s The Mysteries of Nature Trilogy.
Book Two, The Inner Life of Animals, is also available now.
Book Three, The Secret Network of Nature, is coming in Spring 2019.
