“A forest is much more than what you see,” says ecologist Suzanne Simard. Her 30 years of research in Canadian forests have led to an astounding discovery — trees talk, often and over vast distances. Learn more about the harmonious yet complicated social lives of trees and prepare to see the natural world with new eyes.

I have always had a thing for trees! I not only notice them but I admire them! I’m always taking pictures of them! I seem to be the only one around me who notices when a tree is heart-shaped or has a cool trunk.
There is so much wisdom Olin trees and collective consciousness as well! Thank you for this video!!
Beautiful! ❤
12:58 through back and forth conversations, they increase the resilience of whole community
We have proven in the last years, that we increase the collective stupidity through communications and reduce the resilience of human being.
I always believed that trees do communicate. The difference between trees and us is, that we cheat, spread scams, and find it funny.
"Not just competitors but cooperators"
I love how she said "trees talk" and everyone clapped😂😂
Vergans aren't going to like this!
this is one of the best youtube videos ive ever seen. simply amazing – we need more people like suzanne!
It's either her voice or the mic, and the 's' are unbearable.
Amazing, thank you.
As I witness our species' continued rape of its nest, my growing despair seems to slow down a little with my hearing your brilliant and wholesome fresh air and wisdom. Once our greed, collective ignorance, and passivity no longer has its way with us, things can perhaps start to change for the future of our unspeakably lovely planet.
THERE ON TO US FIREE
This lady is lovely 😊
THANK YOU
I am watching this 9/10/2023 This is very nice. Thank you for this video I learned a lot
I always thought when cutting down oriental bittersweet invasive vines, dont put glyphosate on the cut area to kill the vine because that gyphosate will be grabbed by other plants and kill them , and to learn that Timber companies do something similar to unwanted trees in tehir plantations so only one or 2 trees can grow, that is just poisoning the soil over time not much will grow
This is fascinating! 🌲 🌲 🌳
Is it alright to introduce new plant species in the forests? Does it not harm the established flora?
❤❤❤ PEACE
Creator Source God's Sacred Divine Majestic energy is in the life in trees. Preserve them with great respect,wherever and whenever give thanks for these sentient Beings.
i now feel like hugging a tree right now
