Oh how I love trees. I am a self-proclaimed tree hugger and find trees to be magical beings. I have always loved the gentle rustle of leaves or a creaking bough. Trees give us oxygen and store megatons of carbon dioxide. And, new research has shown that trees can communicate with one another through fungal networks. Wild! Trees are watchers, experiencing decades and sometimes centuries of history.

Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest By Suzanne Simard
Suzanne Simard is the scientist who discovered that trees can actually communicate with one another through underground fungal networks, aka the wood wide web. Many of her male colleagues looked down on her work until she gathered the scientific data to show that she was, in fact, correct. Finding the Mother Tree details her story of the discovery and the magic of the mother tree.
