The author has spent over twenty years working for the forestry commissions in Germany. He makes the case that the forest is a social network, describing how trees are like human families. Tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. The amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration remind us of the creative power of our Maker.
