Springing into life

Vibrant horse chestnut  leaves heralding new birth of life in the woods. If you have not yet read Peter Wohlleben's book 'The Hidden Life of Trees' now is the time.  He explains the processes of life, death, and regeneration in woodland and the amazing scientific processes taking place. Tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group.
