Amazing things happen in the forest: trees communicate with one another, sending electrical signals through an underground network of fungi. Trees care not only for their own shoots, but also for their sick, old or orphaned “neighbours”.

Trees have sensitivity, feelings and memories. Incredible? But true! Forester Peter Wohlleben tells fascinating stories about the remarkable and little-known characteristics of trees. Drawing not only on the latest scientific discoveries, but also on his own life experience in the forest, he shares with readers a world that has until now remained unknown. A fascinating journey into the secret life of forests, which is also a true ecological inspiration and invites us to rethink humankind’s relationship with nature.

Peter Wohlleben is a forester, presenter of a popular television programme and the author of several books on forestry and ecology which, together, have sold more than 4 million copies worldwide and have been published in more than 40 countries.
