Intelligent Trees: the documentary

Arbor Day Film Discussion

Watch and discuss the documentary Intelligent Trees.

Trees talk, know family ties, and care for their young? Is this too fantastic to be true? German forester Peter Wohlleben (author of The Hidden Life of Trees) and scientist Suzanne Simard (The University of British Columbia, Canada) have been observing and investigating the communication between trees over decades. And their findings are most astounding. INTELLIGENT TREES features the main observations that are covered in Wohlleben's book such as the stump that has been kept alive by it's neighboring trees, the old tree-couple that looks after each other, the Mother Trees that suckle their offspring, etc. This film also goes beyond those observations and claims, by matching them with the latest underlying Forest Science Research.

Film (45 minutes).
