The Secret Lives of Trees

This article talks about the awareness and connectivity of trees.  It's nice to have detail, but none of this is a surprise to tree-friends.  Trees are perfectly willing to commune with and help two-legs, but the Ent reference is absolutely apt: you have to be patient and approach the tree as close to its timeframe as you can.

Then again, when sufficiently pissed off, trees can be a lot louder and faster.  Not long ago we visited a local nature reserve that has hacked down way too many trees to create spaces for humans instead of wildlife.  It was very disturbing to walk the trails with the trees groaning, clattering, and throwing things at our heads.  O_O  I can't blame them, but still, yikes.
