As a Forestry major, I appreciate this. Look up shinrin yoku, freely translated as "forest bathing". We may not be directly connected to the trees, but being surrounded by them, being among them has a positive affect on our mental and physical health.
Por eso es terrible que prendan fuego al cerro frente a mi casa, en Capilla del Monte Córdoba, ARGENTINA. Se siente un dolor, profundo, tres dias ardiendo x los 4 costados imposible que haya sido la naturaleza, es mano del hombre y muchos. Y el olor...a cosa viva quemada... Ahora lo miro , roca quemada.😢
When I was a child many years ago, I grew up in a yard that had five black walnut trees in it(good size yard) There was only a couple of other trees in the yard. A couple of plum trees, no other trees grew there. I found this strange because right across the street from us was a yard ringed by oak trees and the only other tree growing near them was an apple tree. I come from a long line of German wood workers. We make our living from wood and from our knowledge of it. That knowledge starts at the tree. I asked my father about this seperation of Oaks and Walnut trees. He told me at the time 50 years ago, that the trees release chemicals into the soil to stop other trees from growing. He also told me, we aren't the only ones who make a living from trees. So do squirrels. Squirrels plant trees and my Dad said they know where to plant them, and that they tend them like a garden. They will cut down saplings from other trees. I love trees. I am a child of the woods. I grew up in the woods. In the summer my Grampa would take me to cruise the trees to see which ones if any would be harvested in the fall. Dad took me squirrel hunting in the fall,winter ,spring, summer, he was there and hungry. Ma and my Aunt's would take tap maples, and in the winter, a boy could get lost in the forest and find his way out following the track. Trees have secrets but if you sit and listen to them they will tell them to you. Like the time the walnut tree complain to me about being the last tree in the spring to get it's leaves. So I asked him about how he felt about being the first tree in the fall to loose their leaves. Said he didn't like that either.
I am in awe of trees and have been since I was a kid ! Climbing them as far up as I could to see above the canopy and horizon. To make tools by whittling shapes with a pocket knife. To plant them in my yard for their beauty . To marvel at their artistic root shapes and find drift wood to add in my home as artwork ! To tear when a large tree comes down ! I love trees ! ❤
Watched a video about tree root systems in the forests of north America and Canada. They were communicating with one another despite being many miles apart it was mindblowing. Environmentalists are often called tree huggers. Hug a large tree and you can feel the vibrations and humming coming from within the tree. Trees are so awesome and precious 🙏🙏🙏
@@estebanperez4632 vielleicht benötigst du irgendwelche Substanzen, damit du aufwachst und mit anderem Lebewesen in Kontakt kommst. Nur nicht neidisch werden auf Menschen, welche schon soweit sind und in die Kommunikation mit Pflanzen und Bäumen einzusteigen.
You are doing a fabulous job bringing this amount of knowledge to us for free. I am a Zoology MS student & i recommend these videos from you to my young nephew who equally enjoys them. ThankYou for your continous efforts!
@@0marabdi209You are either confusing chemical communication/signalling with actual talking or maybe you've taken some ahistorical elements quite seriously! Whichever way it is, i wish you find your way back to *real science* soon.
for e.g. that same fungi in excess can act parasitic and not be symbiotic, placing its needs over a hosts. Which, nevertheless, also has nothing to do with different tree species giving things to each other so they both feel better. That the funghi is moving the minerals was completely brushed over, this video just screams click bait & anthropomorphization . . Plants have always reacted to their environment, but branding it as talking fuels the extremists. Edit: and after min10 theres the politics shoe-horned into the science smh
I remember when I was in my 20s I always liked to ingest shrooms and go for long walks in the forest. I always saw the life and even personality of different plant lives. This included many trees, and I understood that no two trees are the same. That gave me a whole new perspective on all living organisms.
As a geologist, I can attest to this based on the fossil record but it wasn't trees that gave the planet its oxygen. It was a variant of algae that yielded out breathable oxygen and it still does today. Trees are not actually that efficient at producing oxygen. We should all take the time to not only thank the trees but that green goo growing in the ocean as well - without it you wouldn't be here.
Is that algae Plankton? I've been investigating plankton for some days now and I've learnt how important they are to life on Earth, however I don't seem to find enough information on them so it's kind of difficult to understand how this organisms work. I would be glad if you could recommend me some books on the topic or any type of resource, have a nice day :))))
@@malinhurtadomacario263 Yes it‘s Phytoplancton. Mostly Cyanobacteria, since they are one of the oldest Organisms on earth, appearing ~2,5 billion years ago.
One day i was walking in the park and I saw a tree trunk all covered with termite. It was a young tree and I was afraid it may die. I spent a long time removing the termite. Made sure it be termite free. Next day I was passing by it and tree shivered from tip to toe. It was rhythmic and musical. I looked at other trees next to it and not a leaf was moving. Since then I love them even more. They communicate
That is awesome you saved the little fella. More so, it thanked you. Im growing an avocado tree. Its still young yet. I've always known if you talk to your plants, they grow better. Its the vibration. Whenever I do this, I can see its leaves move. We call him "Joe". Avocado Joe. 😉
It is kind of reassuring to know that trees are able to withstand extinction events so well. It means that after humans are gone, the trees will pick up the pieces and regenerate their forests.
@Rivoningo Baloyi I don't wish for humanity to go extinct. I just don't trust our capacity to not destroy ourselves over the long term. We can't even manage our own population in a sustainable manner; how much worse will we be with emerging threats like AI, ecological collapse, industrial pollution in our water supplies, pandemic-level pathogens, and of course old school threats like a nuclear apocalypse? Maybe we will stick the landing with all the challenges the future threatens us with, I'd be very glad if we do. It is just so much easier to imagine it going pear shaped. Hope that answers your question.
If we adopt a pet, let's adopt a tree. If we give love and hugs. Let's give love and hugs to the trees. A very sincere suggestion. We depend and need nature. Well, nature needs us too. Let's demonstrate our love and respect for nature ❤
Tress also like water, food, fertilizer, soil and lots of love as pets need. We need to stop selling forests, as Trump sold for lumber to foreign countries, Brazil burned the rain forest to make room for cattle. I rarely eat meat, I loved to hike and enjoy trees but buildings can be built with waste and soil, pets and I enjoy trees. Pets need homes, many trees need an Orchard or a forest!
Not only do I hug trees but I thank them for all that they've done for us and I know they have the intelligence to understand that because even in the 1970s there was a book written called The Secret Life of Plants, which you all here would enjoy. I use them when I really need to ground my energy and be more in my body, when I have a lot of stress I want to unload or an emotional burden. Just lay against that tree trunk and let it all go and ask her to send it back into the fiery core of the earth. It's like free therapy!
I am dubious about the claim that communication between trees was only "discovered" in the 1980's... as a child my Grandfather spoke about this and described the process of chemical signals and the underground network of communication through mycelium of fungii. This was over 60 years ago!
Thousands of years. Disconnection from intuitive knowledge began around turn from bc to ad, and peaked sometime in this past century. Hopefully it’s all coming around and we can (re)integrate before the planet is wrecked to the point of no return. The arrogance and immaturity of the religiously science minded is like a teenager that gets some intel from their parents and then sometime later gets the same thing from another source and values and believes it. But it’s a natural process hahahah. Either way, it’ll be fine.
@@timetobenotdo yes either way it will be fine! G.pa also told me that eventually the expansion of the Sun will render Planet Earth uninhabitable and really the art of life is to do no harm while we are here... and this is the edict I have lived by all my life. Thank you for your response Matthew.
@@abigailmckernwalkingwithpo4582 thank you! He was a wonderful man. He lost his entire leg in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 at the age of 23 and went on to raise 3 daughters who all became professionally qualified in medicine and education, he did this long before the Welfare State existed and without the aid of "trauma therapy", he just got on with life and made the most of the hand he had been dealt. His life story is fascinating... I have written about it for my surviving sons and my Granddaughter... so they can draw on his wisdom and fortitude.
Stuff like this makes me think maybe it’s not such a wild idea that hallucinogenics are really the plants and fungi communicating with us. I did ayahuasca last year, and at one point I felt like I was breathing in every tree that ever lived. I couldn’t describe it any other way. I also realized upon coming home and going on a hike that looking up through the leaves of trees was very reminiscent of the geometrical patterns you see while under the influence of ayahuasca.
I agree, after we consumed psilocybin with my friends, we hugged trees and I felt like they were alive and realised the complex geometrical structure of this organisms. I never felt the same about plants and trees after that experience.
agree, once i did psilocybe mushrooms at night alone in the forest and i was able to see this glowing energies going through trees, plants, and connections between all trees in forest and also all universe and felt connected also
I cut down banana tree twice in this life and I regret it. It feel's like communicating to me to stop and I felt it's crying. I hope in the future we can clone other organism like plants, trees and even poultry animals. No need to consume or destroy but rather just copy it's properties.
"Wind through branches like fire through water. Whispering, listening, talking with the sun, the moon, the stars and with each other. The language of the trees" this poem was written 35 years ago by my then 8 year old son Michael. He knew things.
Alone the shipment of "hello fresh" has a larger environmental footprint than throwing some cream away... Just go to your local market, buy organic food and avoid any unnecessary container.
Yeah, that additional packaging is quite contrary to the message and leaves a really bad aftertaste. But in the end you kinda have to hate the system not the messenger, don't you? I really don't know.
I agree with that. That's also one of the reasons why I have resisted the recent boom of meal delivery services - I really hate the additional waste of packaging and the unnecessary fuel burning (when the delivery is by motorcycle). I even avoid to takeaway myself unless it's absolutelly necessary.
In my country (Spain) it would be absolutely mental to buy delivery food. It seems stupid for me. Although to be fair a lot of American stuff is stupid from our point of view
@@ronwesilen4536 I live here (USA) and it IS stupid. Some people are easily swayed into thinking things are better than they actually are, and will pay more to use more useless, impractical products, than to look at the whole picture. Our education system sucks, too. Shows don't it?
I would like to see a similar work about grasses and grasslands. As great as trees are, grasses are even more significant in carbon sequestration. The prevailing agricultural model - purely extractive has created many great deserts. But the grasslands can be restored - regenerated. How do we protect and restore that vital resource?
Good question and you just thought something that seems so obvious yet I have not once thought about our vanishing grasslands. I’m afraid I can’t answer that but man, now I’ve go to find more information! Thanks for posing the question brother… gosh, a year ago!
@@hollythomas7582 Permaculture!!!! - Regenerative farming. It's all over the internet and youtube and ted talks, and being taught since the 1970s but now being taught in Universities all over the world. SAVE THE PLANET with Permaculture - very realistic. Watch the documentary, "Kiss the Ground" - You'll be happy you did!
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. Central America was once Marsh land taken care by buffalo that roam free from Canada to Mexico much like the Serengeti in Africa , early settlers to America were the first to see the grasslands and they were amazed.
enough to mix grass with friendly species and not overgrazing letting animals fertilise it and grass to reach deeper in soil but mental people decided to replace natural mechanics with own oversimplified cycles corn grows in the same place with minimal chemical fertilisation they didn't even spared hill tops with less oxygen in air leaving natural forests there they won't spare any land except if plan to remove human from there entirely to dig for something
Actually eastern hardwood forests reached all the way to western dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas! Until human’s got here! Yes they had axes and generations to change that! As well as fire!
There are trees which have been around for thousands of years. They have the secret to survival. One example was one of the oldest trees which shed a large (healthy) branch in the very dry season. Scientists concluded that it was the tree's way of conserving water, to save itself. The life of trees makes for very interesting reading. Know your planet.
9:41 What this basically says is that trees are forward thinkers: Humans can only see the short term benefits. Trees understand that they could gain a lot short term, but being a decent tree and helping their neighbors to protect the planet pays off more total in the long term. We could learn a lot from that fact alone.
How so? They aren't where we come from? Not that where we come from represents a more authentic home, everywhere we go and survive--human habitats, those are our homes. Humans have always lived close together and have always sheltered as best we could. That is still how we live because it's what worked. We've just gotten better at it and can adapt more and more resources to our needs in more and more complex and sophisticated ways. Enjoying nature, liking to hike or camp in a forest, which is often really beneficial for our mental and physical health, doesnt need to entail boogeyman fictions about us being awful or fallen from our state of grace--enviromentalist so frequently spin the same yarn that the dominant religions spun for the last several thousand years. Like joni mitchels song, go to get us back to the garden. Alwsys with the going back. Thats human too i guess, to be timid, opposed to change, wanting to stay safe and traditional-Conservative. We do best when we cooperate,figuring on strategies that employ both our conservative leanings and our bolder liberal leanings.
No, it's just this video is an ideological and mythological story, like folk knowledge. This video isnt science or science reporting. Its misinformation.
My grandfather was a forester. Once he showed me an area where they did reforest (around 1975). He explained to me that it is important to keep some of the big trees to give shadow to the newly planted trees, so they could grow better. I was confused because the big trees were too little to give an efficient shadow. Now I think the reason is not the shadow. They were on the right track but had the wrong explanation.
In memoriam... As a very young child, my first best friend was a tree... the biggest elm I had ever seen. I grew up in Tree's protection. Then one day, back when I was 43... a severe deep freeze and heavy ice storm split the tree down the center. We counted the rings... Tree was 380 years old. We wept and mourned at this giant nurturer's loss. My Dad carved each family member a 3 ft tall black bear, and the remaining logs heated my parents' home for winter. As an old lady... I think of Tree often and embrace the memories of swinging, singing to Tree, and clasping hands with the neighbor kids to encircle and hug Tree. It took 5 to 6 kids to hug that enormous trunk. Today... I think of you, Tree... I honor you... and treasure the love we shared more and more with each passing year! 🌳
Excellent information in this video. I was aware of the idea but not the scientific evidence behind it. Land management seems to move rather slowly to new methodologies but, when proven effective, are likely be adopted.
Us humans must learn from the way trees communicate. In fact we do this already as empaths, simply by loving, and being kind to one another. We become our own network, helping one another and sharing resources or even food for thought! Isn't that nicer than competing for personal gain? We want to thrive like forests!! Not just to survive.
I mean people and animals compete but they also fight. Trees might have that in common, evolution isn’t just about competition but connectivity. Which makes a system that takes time to fall into synce when new systems come up I guess.
As a forestry student, I was impressed and thankful for this amazing videos.It gives me a lot of lesson and learn more knowledge about trees and forest in our planet.

Hi Art by Jeremy Maya Robinson. I agree with you entirely. We humans are so immature, and the anonymity of the web removes any inhibitions some people have about rudeness. Stay positive! We need all the positive people we can get, and so do the trees.
That is possible, though most pesticides aren't fungicides (fungi don't have nervous systems). The herbicides in use (EG glyphosate, AKA Roundup) can also cause massive damage, and some herbicides may have fungicidal properties or be combined with broad-spectrum fungicides.
@@DrewNorthup Yeah agricultural fungicides are also unfortunately heavily used to combat fungal diseases which are prevalent in plants. This comes with a wide share of downsides for one the disruption of mycorrhiza networks which is tied into the substantial nutrient depreciation of food crops seen since the onset of the so called "green revolution"
The longest relationships I've had with any other living being has been trees. And absolutely they can tell us of their life stories never with either malice or judgement for the unconscious human errors towards them.
This is the real Aiwa sahelu of trees... They can't talk but they can listen and response us when we make the pure Bond. It's not just a theory It's more beyond that...

Trees talk through energy, everything has frequency to it. As Spiritualists,& tree hugger, ground ing is my favorite. those who laugh or call us crazy aren't spiritually ready. I love 🌳.
Swedish clear cuts allways contain at least one big tree still standing. A seed pine I think it's called... I thought it was because it's cheaper to let it seed the area, didn't know about the other bene|its!
Same, its mind-boggling. A bacteria probably sees a multicellular organism the same way we see an ecosystem. And an ecosystem, if it could see/ feel, would probably feel the same about the entire planet.
Too bad we're paving it over. But if we don't cut down all the trees and fill the atmosphere with CO2 then how do we make line on graph go up? Not very stonks if you ask me
Note that while there are great examples of altruism in nature the flipside is also true with the situation typically being somewhere in the middle. For example among the more nefarious uses by trees are Black Walnuts which are infamous for actively sabotaging the mycorrhizal networks with poisoned "gifts" that kill off other plant species. While some plants have mutualistic relationships with other species many plants are selfish altruists selectively helping out their own kind and sabotaging others in favor of their kin this is however balanced out as fungi work to counteract this typically preferring more diverse portfolios of donors.
You could say the same thing about humans. On an individual level, yes, humans genuinely, usually, help each other out because we care about each other. But on a grander, evolutionary scale, we evolved to help each other out because it is beneficial to our species to do so.
@@Dragrath1 If you read The Global Forest by Diana Beresford-Kroeger, you will learn just how beneficent the black walnut is, helping keep new deer antlers from becoming infected (they rub the stumps against them when they drop their old antlers) and dropping thujone into the waters to help fish hibernate, feeding many species, including humans with their nuts, producing antipathogenic medicines, and much more.
Love that you showed so many ghost pipe! That's a fungi that is kind of swept under the rug doesn't get too much attention. You should google it, it's a special plant/fungi
This Channel is a constant mind blow, it's truly amazing to see connections such as this and at least trying to better understand our place within it, no matter how large or small.
The Hello Fresh ad really doesn’t make any sense for creating less waste. I have been cooking on my own for one person and buying groceries in small quantities, not bulk. A container of sour cream? Buy a small tub and find complimentary recipes that uses most of it in several goes. Maybe a cake?
@elisalight 0 seconds ago Thank you for saying this. I am in love with trees, have more than 1000 pages of my talks and experiences with them and have facilitated Tree Love workshops around the world where people learn to attune to and interact with trees. The large old trees especially, are spiritually awakened and loving, sentient, healers. If we learn to partner with them we might be able to save and re-thrive our planet. (I've been doing this for over 20 years; an astounding adventure that has transformed my life and the life of many others.)
Also check out a book called The Golden Spruce. All about trees, history of logging and environmental movements surrounding a sacred tree with a genetic differentiation giving these rare trees golden needles. Very good. Another I have yet to read is called...Finding the Mother Tree
This is really mind blowing! We are just beginning to understand the role of fungi in the natural world. It seems to me, that fungi are not only a transportation system for vital nutrients, it's also the Internet of the natural world, providing a means of communication between many forms of life. Taking a little step into Woo-woo land, it makes me wonder if the psychedelic properties of some mushrooms exist to help those of us who are not physically connected to other living beings communicate with the rest of the natural world. Based on my extensive experience with psychedelics, I am quite certain that that is true.
Agreed, as I CONCURR.. Lol,I can honestly say,I've EXTENSIVE,.. and EVER EXPANDING experience, with psychodelucs,.psychedelics,.. as well..

As a Forestry Major, I appreciate this at the same time I am also amaze. Since I didn't know that there is already a vast of communication happening right under our feet that trees are already sharing resources passing on warnings and passing down information over other trees. Since entirely I thought that trees only compete which is like a society that only the fittest can survive the chain but I was wrong after seeing this video. Indeed this video truly open to another perspective and point.
And you didn't notice her getting all her facts wrong she said there's 1 billion trees in the world not even close she's of by a factor of 3000 lol and got the number of different trees wrong bye around 1500 😂😂
Great that you are open to new information and terrible that you were not taught this. The information has been around long enough that it ought to be in everyone's education, especially foresters! I bet they didn't teach you that trees are truly sentient and I have found that the older, larger ones, who she calls Mother Trees, are the most advanced, loving and wise. Think of that next time you cut down an ancient tree. "Not only the other half of our lungs, they may be the other half of our hearts." - Tree Love: Heart of the Forest
Awesome video. Would love to see Hello Fresh treat it’s workers more fairly as we begin to care more about our environment. There’s so much we can learn from trees. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, that advertisement at the end was ridiculous, showing endless packaging, etc. Makes me feel I'd have to include a caveat if I recommend this video to others. There are many less planet-damaging ways to conserve food.
All jokes aside, I'm a genuine tree hugger. I feel them, and they feel me. Their energy is palpable for me, they feel like silent, observant beings. I've said since I was young that I feel that I'm a tree in human form. Trees are healers, and they are here and watching, even willing and sacrificing themselves as part of a much greater, Divine purpose, here to help us. Most don't even recognize this. I can walk past a tree and feel it's strength, it's comfort, it's awareness. I hug them when they are offering one, lol. Or when I'm depressed or sad, or when I feel happy and grateful. They truly are silent friends, offering so much to us in many ways. We just have to notice. I Love 🌳🌲🌴💓

I've done many things in my life, from growing up on a farm to being an environmental engineer and now in retirement I'm Trying to create an Oasis in the Desert. I thought I knew a lot but this was one of the most fascinating things I've run across in years.
Purposed growth is best. Planting trees specifically to be harvested. Austrees went under the radar quickly after they were created, but they still offer useable timber in five years or less. There are a lot of things you can do to alter density and strength.
Along with allowing natural regeneration rather than planting. Local seedlings will adapt to the soil and climate better and it eliminates the problem of importing diseases from other areas and countries.
@@portcullis5622 artificial regeneration uses seeds from the local “seed zone”, but climate change is forcing us to look at artificially migrating species to place them in areas that will have climates more similar to their native regions throughout their lives. This means putting them at higher elevations and latitudes, because they are likely to be poorly adapted to the predicted drier and hotter climate in their native area. I do agree that Mother Nature knows better than us, but if we want to survive this climate crisis, we’re going to have to adapt faster than Mother Nature does naturally
We have more than one form of communication. All forms of existence communicate with each other. The tree knows who you are and what you are about. And is aware enough to identify you and share this knowledge with other trees.
I don’t understand sometimes with science why we think things must all follow under one absolute law. Life is complex, and we are many times boxing it in. I feel like we are comparing our own experiences or animals which are similar to that of other things in nature that are obviously extremely different. I’m not surprised at all by trees sharing information. It makes sense. Additionally, I feel our biggest success in humanity have usually come from sharing or during times of working together to accomplish a goal.
Proposed a bold new idea and got laughed out of the room. Proven right when science eventually caught up with his brilliance. Now where have we heard that before?
Tons of plastic isn't getting recycled so the most responsible thing to do is find a retailer that can send you bulk items not packaged in plastic. I like Azure Standard. All of the legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts come in paper, which is actually recycled in a lot of cases, but if it's not, at least it will naturally decompose. It also doesn't have a plastic lining on the inside which makes me really happy. You can also use your own cloth bags for fresh produce when you shop. I eat very little processed foods because it's not healthy and it always comes in plastic. If you eat a whole food plant based diet, you mostly will not be using a bunch of plastic if you order your food from a retailer using plant based packaging.
I was always under the impression that most of the "computing power" here comes from the fungi, not the tress, so it's more like the mushrooms that have a secret language.
Maybe it would be more helpful to see it as the fungi benefit from healthy trees, so deliver the mail (messages) between trees. The trees benefit from healthy fungii, and share resources as the fungi deliver messages. The grandmother tree shares her information, passes along directions like "there's a forest fire coming, close up leaves, shift sap to the roots and water to the trunk to survive the fire" which the fungi pass along because destroyed trees will allow for soil erosion and destruction of the fungi. Of course, animals and insects see / smell the difference in the trees, and head away from the fire. It's almost like everything but the humans recognizes that we are all interconnected and damaging one, damages all.....
@@humanbean7884 maybe I am misunderstanding? It sounds like you and I agree that interconnectedness used to be the norm, until a hierarchy was allowed to evolve [by humans] that interrupted our relationships with one another as well as with the planet around us. Are we both in agreement on that?
I once did shrooms and since then I don’t see my body as a human body I see myself as a tree. Like if I go out I see that exact reflection in me. Human body is like a tree instead of branches and twigs we have veins and arteries. If our roots are strong we can face anything like trees when faced with harsh climatic conditions. Nature is my role model, it has taught me alot about letting go. So every Autum I cry when they shed off leaves which teaches us how gracefully they accept change and let go and surrender.
Actually that is true. We share most of our DNA with trees, with same or other-handed molecules such as neuropeptides and hormones. The only big difference between a red blood cell and a chloroplast is that the red blood cell contains iron and the chloroplast contains magnesium. We have a localized brain whereas the tree has a distributed one; the entire tree is the brain. Makes sense in case you lose a limb, to have your intelligence everywhere.
There is a book named 'The Secret Life of Trees' written by Peter Wohleben. It is like this video: entertaining and full of infos without getting boring.
there is a life force. you could sit on a corner in any city watching hundreds of people pass by and still feel alone. If you sit in the bush, for some reason, you don't feel alone. I have been working in cities and bushes for the last 50 years and I do completely believe that the trees give off a force of comfort to humans and animals.

Back in the early 1950's I fell in love with a smooth barked, cool... if somewhat shady fig tree that let me sleep among supporting limbs and be caressed by large lobed leaves and always offering delicious ripe figs. The only thing to worry about was an occasional tarantula hawk (wasp) that was also welcome to eat figs.Trees are a portal through which mother earth sustains those of us that are more mobile
Since I began talking about trees being loving and sentient, so many people have whispered to me, "I've never told anyone this but..." and shared similar stories of receiving love, healing, succor, and knowledge from trees.
To add more idea for the end part of this video : My self :personally I try to do home made cleaning supply and skin care hair care products on my own : so far this year I dedicate myself no longer buy : deodorizer, hair shampoo , laundry softener , white Vinegar , glass cleaner , house cleaner all kind ! I’m debating on Clorox (bleach ) , no more buying foot odor spray , mouth rinse , pest and insect bait and spray supply , car cleaner liquid, air fresher plug in , and what do I make to use for replace all those plastic and chemical stuff that cause health issue and also so much waste to land fields and toxic chemical harming out tree and planet ? : I made Bio Enzyme liquid the best part : I made from fruit and vegetable waste from kitchen waste : orange peel , pineapple peels , lemon peel apple peel n core , head of carrot cucumber ! After harvesting Boo Enzyme the further fermented fruit peel can go to community garden for help improve soil and help great root supports under ground ! The best way to giving back to our plant to thank them and they will give me more gift back with fruits and veggies for me to keep thanking them and giving back to them 💯🕉🌈💕🙏🏾♻️☮️🕉♻️🐝🌿☘️🎊☘️🌿♻️💕
I totally agree with you on self accountability and responsibility, I wrote about how what we do on a small level creates the change on a larger level quite a while ago. Everybody needs to be held accountable in the same direction.
what if each and every human was to carry around on their backs all the garbage they have consumed over a period of a year. we wouldn’t be able to walk. that’s how heavy our garbage loads are.
As a horticulturist and landscape architect i have spent a lot of time in the understanding of which plants perform best over a long period of time especially in regenerating parklands where group plantings even in open spaces performed and grew stronger and faster than isolating single trees. The use of layering of species along with the pioneer sp.s like acacias for nitrogen fixation which in turn provides food for the longer living trees.
Yes, Suzanne Simard talks about this extensively in her book, "Finding the Mother Tree." In Permaculture it is implied. I believe organic regenerative agriculture could benefit from more knowledge about how to create these "super-organisms" as much as possible on our farms.
Thats a good start man, it shows hope. Now try to command the changes you want, with any chance you get, while giving thanks to the universe or whatever you feel is right, feel your connection my friend! Much love!
I'm happy there are still many like minded people, it seems most people around me dont care. Im starting my 2nd year in Applied Ecology in september, im gonna try my best to do my part in this situations
The indigenous people didn't cut the biggest trees because they believed that they belong to the gods. This ancient policy is also backed up by science now. The indigenous people spent more time collecting observational data on the plants although the theory behind was filled by religious beliefs. Although they didn't had modern science, their practical knowledge complement it.
Oh, I didn't know that. In my region too, we used to pray especially old trees believing a deity resides in them. The practice still continues in rural areas. The commoners may not know the science behind it, but such practices must have been thought up by someone who had lots of observational skills and scientific aptitude.
There's actually 3 trillion trees... I was just testing you all...
I failed the test 😅
I got three seconds in and was like... wait.. what? I had to google it.. lol I was like, there is no way humans outnumber trees!

hi
But how will we identify these mother trees?
As a Forestry major, I appreciate this.
Look up shinrin yoku, freely translated as "forest bathing". We may not be directly connected to the trees, but being surrounded by them, being among them has a positive affect on our mental and physical health.
College graduates are destroying the world, not indigenous people.
Their is nothing beneficial at that circle jerk of a "school" you attend.

That's wonderful.
It's because trees are smart enough to praise him who made them, the creator. Unlike us humans
When I was a child many years ago, I grew up in a yard that had five black walnut trees in it(good size yard) There was only a couple of other trees in the yard. A couple of plum trees, no other trees grew there. I found this strange because right across the street from us was a yard ringed by oak trees and the only other tree growing near them was an apple tree. I come from a long line of German wood workers. We make our living from wood and from our knowledge of it. That knowledge starts at the tree. I asked my father about this seperation of Oaks and Walnut trees. He told me at the time 50 years ago, that the trees release chemicals into the soil to stop other trees from growing. He also told me, we aren't the only ones who make a living from trees. So do squirrels. Squirrels plant trees and my Dad said they know where to plant them, and that they tend them like a garden. They will cut down saplings from other trees. I love trees. I am a child of the woods. I grew up in the woods. In the summer my Grampa would take me to cruise the trees to see which ones if any would be harvested in the fall. Dad took me squirrel hunting in the fall,winter ,spring, summer, he was there and hungry. Ma and my Aunt's would take tap maples, and in the winter, a boy could get lost in the forest and find his way out following the track. Trees have secrets but if you sit and listen to them they will tell them to you. Like the time the walnut tree complain to me about being the last tree in the spring to get it's leaves. So I asked him about how he felt about being the first tree in the fall to loose their leaves. Said he didn't like that either.
Lucky to be amongst trees I wish and pray I had that luck all my life.
I see that you also smoke trees:-)
This is so nice story!❤😊

@@novaste1238 I may be a good story teller, but the trees, they will tell you better stories.
I am in awe of trees and have been since I was a kid ! Climbing them as far up as I could to see above the canopy and horizon.

To tear when a large tree comes down !

Watched a video about tree root systems in the forests of north America and Canada. They were communicating with one another despite being many miles apart it was mindblowing. Environmentalists are often called tree huggers. Hug a large tree and you can feel the vibrations and humming coming from within the tree. Trees are so awesome and precious 🙏🙏🙏
Idk about the whole feeling the vibrations. Stop doing hallucinogens while hiking

my botany prof and i dont buy the hype. zoology is pretty different.
for e.g. that same fungi in excess can act parasitic and not be symbiotic, placing its needs over a hosts. Which, nevertheless, also has nothing to do with different tree species giving things to each other so they both feel better. That the funghi is moving the minerals was completely brushed over, this video just screams click bait & anthropomorphization . . Plants have always reacted to their environment, but branding it as talking fuels the extremists. Edit: and after min10 theres the politics shoe-horned into the science smh
I remember when I was in my 20s I always liked to ingest shrooms and go for long walks in the forest. I always saw the life and even personality of different plant lives. This included many trees, and I understood that no two trees are the same. That gave me a whole new perspective on all living organisms.
As a geologist, I can attest to this based on the fossil record but it wasn't trees that gave the planet its oxygen. It was a variant of algae that yielded out breathable oxygen and it still does today. Trees are not actually that efficient at producing oxygen. We should all take the time to not only thank the trees but that green goo growing in the ocean as well - without it you wouldn't be here.
Is that algae Plankton? I've been investigating plankton for some days now and I've learnt how important they are to life on Earth, however I don't seem to find enough information on them so it's kind of difficult to understand how this organisms work. I would be glad if you could recommend me some books on the topic or any type of resource, have a nice day :))))

It is kind of reassuring to know that trees are able to withstand extinction events so well. It means that after humans are gone, the trees will pick up the pieces and regenerate their forests.
Cause humans (not all) are hell bent to make other species to go extinct 😂
@Rivoningo Baloyi I don't wish for humanity to go extinct. I just don't trust our capacity to not destroy ourselves over the long term. We can't even manage our own population in a sustainable manner; how much worse will we be with emerging threats like AI, ecological collapse, industrial pollution in our water supplies, pandemic-level pathogens, and of course old school threats like a nuclear apocalypse?
Maybe we will stick the landing with all the challenges the future threatens us with, I'd be very glad if we do. It is just so much easier to imagine it going pear shaped. Hope that answers your question.

If we adopt a pet, let's adopt a tree.

A very sincere suggestion.
We depend and need nature.
Well, nature needs us too.
Let's demonstrate our love and respect for nature ❤
Tress also like water, food, fertilizer, soil and lots of love as pets need. We need to stop selling forests, as Trump sold for lumber to foreign countries, Brazil burned the rain forest to make room for cattle. I rarely eat meat, I loved to hike and enjoy trees but buildings can be built with waste and soil, pets and I enjoy trees. Pets need homes, many trees need an Orchard or a forest!
I was today years old when I was taught to adopt a tree
How old are you?
nature doesn't need us lol. like George Carlin said, "the *planet* isnt going anywhere, WE ARE!"
I hug my trees
Not only do I hug trees but I thank them for all that they've done for us and I know they have the intelligence to understand that because even in the 1970s there was a book written called The Secret Life of Plants, which you all here would enjoy. I use them when I really need to ground my energy and be more in my body, when I have a lot of stress I want to unload or an emotional burden. Just lay against that tree trunk and let it all go and ask her to send it back into the fiery core of the earth. It's like free therapy!
Nature is theropy we often overlook . It’s an escape from our busy lives to look at the face of God and his creation ! ❤️
I am dubious about the claim that communication between trees was only "discovered" in the 1980's... as a child my Grandfather spoke about this and described the process of chemical signals and the underground network of communication through mycelium of fungii. This was over 60 years ago!
Thousands of years. Disconnection from intuitive knowledge began around turn from bc to ad, and peaked sometime in this past century. Hopefully it’s all coming around and we can (re)integrate before the planet is wrecked to the point of no return. The arrogance and immaturity of the religiously science minded is like a teenager that gets some intel from their parents and then sometime later gets the same thing from another source and values and believes it. But it’s a natural process hahahah. Either way, it’ll be fine.

@@abigailmckernwalkingwithpo4582 thank you! He was a wonderful man. He lost his entire leg in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 at the age of 23 and went on to raise 3 daughters who all became professionally qualified in medicine and education, he did this long before the Welfare State existed and without the aid of "trauma therapy", he just got on with life and made the most of the hand he had been dealt. His life story is fascinating... I have written about it for my surviving sons and my Granddaughter... so they can draw on his wisdom and fortitude.
Stuff like this makes me think maybe it’s not such a wild idea that hallucinogenics are really the plants and fungi communicating with us. I did ayahuasca last year, and at one point I felt like I was breathing in every tree that ever lived. I couldn’t describe it any other way. I also realized upon coming home and going on a hike that looking up through the leaves of trees was very reminiscent of the geometrical patterns you see while under the influence of ayahuasca.
It is a crazy idea.
I agree, after we consumed psilocybin with my friends, we hugged trees and I felt like they were alive and realised the complex geometrical structure of this organisms. I never felt the same about plants and trees after that experience.
I believe this also, I think this is why DMT is present in all plants, it's a means of communication that most humans do not understand
agree, once i did psilocybe mushrooms at night alone in the forest and i was able to see this glowing energies going through trees, plants, and connections between all trees in forest and also all universe and felt connected also
I cut down banana tree twice in this life and I regret it. It feel's like communicating to me to stop and I felt it's crying. I hope in the future we can clone other organism like plants, trees and even poultry animals. No need to consume or destroy but rather just copy it's properties.
"Wind through branches like fire through water. Whispering, listening, talking with the sun, the moon, the stars and with each other. The language of the trees" this poem was written 35 years ago by my then 8 year old son Michael. He knew things.

I would like to see a similar work about grasses and grasslands. As great as trees are, grasses are even more significant in carbon sequestration. The prevailing agricultural model - purely extractive has created many great deserts. But the grasslands can be restored - regenerated. How do we protect and restore that vital resource?

Watch the documentary, "Kiss the Ground" - You'll be happy you did!
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. Central America was once Marsh land taken care by buffalo that roam free from Canada to Mexico much like the Serengeti in Africa , early settlers to America were the first to see the grasslands and they were amazed.
enough to mix grass with friendly species and not overgrazing letting animals fertilise it and grass to reach deeper in soil
but mental people decided to replace natural mechanics with own oversimplified cycles
corn grows in the same place with minimal chemical fertilisation
they didn't even spared hill tops with less oxygen in air leaving natural forests there
they won't spare any land except if plan to remove human from there entirely to dig for something
Actually eastern hardwood forests reached all the way to western dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas! Until human’s got here! Yes they had axes and generations to change that! As well as fire!
There are trees which have been around for thousands of years. They have the secret to survival. One example was one of the oldest trees which shed a large (healthy) branch in the very dry season. Scientists concluded that it was the tree's way of conserving water, to save itself. The life of trees makes for very interesting reading. Know your planet.
9:41 What this basically says is that trees are forward thinkers: Humans can only see the short term benefits. Trees understand that they could gain a lot short term, but being a decent tree and helping their neighbors to protect the planet pays off more total in the long term. We could learn a lot from that fact alone.

How so? They aren't where we come from? Not that where we come from represents a more authentic home, everywhere we go and survive--human habitats, those are our homes. Humans have always lived close together and have always sheltered as best we could. That is still how we live because it's what worked. We've just gotten better at it and can adapt more and more resources to our needs in more and more complex and sophisticated ways. Enjoying nature, liking to hike or camp in a forest, which is often really beneficial for our mental and physical health, doesnt need to entail boogeyman fictions about us being awful or fallen from our state of grace--enviromentalist so frequently spin the same yarn that the dominant religions spun for the last several thousand years. Like joni mitchels song, go to get us back to the garden. Alwsys with the going back. Thats human too i guess, to be timid, opposed to change, wanting to stay safe and traditional-Conservative. We do best when we cooperate,figuring on strategies that employ both our conservative leanings and our bolder liberal leanings.

No, it's just this video is an ideological and mythological story, like folk knowledge. This video isnt science or science reporting. Its misinformation.
My grandfather was a forester. Once he showed me an area where they did reforest (around 1975). He explained to me that it is important to keep some of the big trees to give shadow to the newly planted trees, so they could grow better. I was confused because the big trees were too little to give an efficient shadow.
Now I think the reason is not the shadow. They were on the right track but had the wrong explanation.

In memoriam... As a very young child, my first best friend was a tree... the biggest elm I had ever seen. I grew up in Tree's protection. Then one day, back when I was 43... a severe deep freeze and heavy ice storm split the tree down the center. We counted the rings... Tree was 380 years old. We wept and mourned at this giant nurturer's loss. My Dad carved each family member a 3 ft tall black bear, and the remaining logs heated my parents' home for winter. As an old lady... I think of Tree often and embrace the memories of swinging, singing to Tree, and clasping hands with the neighbor kids to encircle and hug Tree. It took 5 to 6 kids to hug that enormous trunk. Today... I think of you, Tree... I honor you... and treasure the love we shared more and more with each passing year! 🌳

Excellent information in this video. I was aware of the idea but not the scientific evidence behind it.
Land management seems to move rather slowly to new methodologies but, when proven effective, are likely be adopted.
Us humans must learn from the way trees communicate. In fact we do this already as empaths, simply by loving, and being kind to one another. We become our own network, helping one another and sharing resources or even food for thought! Isn't that nicer than competing for personal gain? We want to thrive like forests!! Not just to survive.
are you more empathic to own ethnic group and kin?
otherwise you do against what trees do
This was the story line in the movie Avatar..
And I thought you were going to be boring but you really are a Fun Gi !

So when we see these massive groves of trees dying next to the farmland, could it be because we are killing the fungi with pesticides?
possibly. good observation!
That is possible, though most pesticides aren't fungicides (fungi don't have nervous systems). The herbicides in use (EG glyphosate, AKA Roundup) can also cause massive damage, and some herbicides may have fungicidal properties or be combined with broad-spectrum fungicides.
presumptive
Screwing up the local water table in industrial agriculture is probably more plausible.
@@DrewNorthup Yeah agricultural fungicides are also unfortunately heavily used to combat fungal diseases which are prevalent in plants. This comes with a wide share of downsides for one the disruption of mycorrhiza networks which is tied into the substantial nutrient depreciation of food crops seen since the onset of the so called "green revolution"

Trees helping out each other...nature is beautiful.
(I know they indirectly do this to protect themselves, but let me have my moment)
Egoistic Altruism. Simply sweet.
Note that while there are great examples of altruism in nature the flipside is also true with the situation typically being somewhere in the middle. For example among the more nefarious uses by trees are Black Walnuts which are infamous for actively sabotaging the mycorrhizal networks with poisoned "gifts" that kill off other plant species.
While some plants have mutualistic relationships with other species many plants are selfish altruists selectively helping out their own kind and sabotaging others in favor of their kin this is however balanced out as fungi work to counteract this typically preferring more diverse portfolios of donors.
You could say the same thing about humans. On an individual level, yes, humans genuinely, usually, help each other out because we care about each other. But on a grander, evolutionary scale, we evolved to help each other out because it is beneficial to our species to do so.
@@Dragrath1 If you read The Global Forest by Diana Beresford-Kroeger, you will learn just how beneficent the black walnut is, helping keep new deer antlers from becoming infected (they rub the stumps against them when they drop their old antlers) and dropping thujone into the waters to help fish hibernate, feeding many species, including humans with their nuts, producing antipathogenic medicines, and much more.
Love that you showed so many ghost pipe! That's a fungi that is kind of swept under the rug doesn't get too much attention. You should google it, it's a special plant/fungi
This Channel is a constant mind blow, it's truly amazing to see connections such as this and at least trying to better understand our place within it, no matter how large or small.
The Hello Fresh ad really doesn’t make any sense for creating less waste. I have been cooking on my own for one person and buying groceries in small quantities, not bulk. A container of sour cream? Buy a small tub and find complimentary recipes that uses most of it in several goes. Maybe a cake?
Nature is aware. You are never alone. The Earth is a living, breathing, and conscious organism.

Thank you for saying this. I am in love with trees, have more than 1000 pages of my talks and experiences with them and have facilitated Tree Love workshops around the world where people learn to attune to and interact with trees. The large old trees especially, are spiritually awakened and loving, sentient, healers. If we learn to partner with them we might be able to save and re-thrive our planet. (I've been doing this for over 20 years; an astounding adventure that has transformed my life and the life of many others.)
The book “Overstory” is the most amazing book I’ve ever read about trees.
Also check out a book called The Golden Spruce. All about trees, history of logging and environmental movements surrounding a sacred tree with a genetic differentiation giving these rare trees golden needles. Very good. Another I have yet to read is called...Finding the Mother Tree
@@dogmom8668 Yes, Finding the Mother Tree is Suzanne Simard's autobiography, and excellent.
Looks like nature invented the Internet first.

This is really mind blowing! We are just beginning to understand the role of fungi in the natural world. It seems to me, that fungi are not only a transportation system for vital nutrients, it's also the Internet of the natural world, providing a means of communication between many forms of life. Taking a little step into Woo-woo land, it makes me wonder if the psychedelic properties of some mushrooms exist to help those of us who are not physically connected to other living beings communicate with the rest of the natural world. Based on my extensive experience with psychedelics, I am quite certain that that is true.
This was one of the main theories of Terrence McKenna. He is dead now, but there are lots of his videos on UA-cam. He was a genius.
I wonder, it would be wholesome

As a Forestry Major, I appreciate this at the same time I am also amaze. Since I didn't know that there is already a vast of communication happening right under our feet that trees are already sharing resources passing on warnings and passing down information over other trees. Since entirely I thought that trees only compete which is like a society that only the fittest can survive the chain but I was wrong after seeing this video. Indeed this video truly open to another perspective and point.
And you didn't notice her getting all her facts wrong she said there's 1 billion trees in the world not even close she's of by a factor of 3000 lol and got the number of different trees wrong bye around 1500 😂😂
Great that you are open to new information and terrible that you were not taught this. The information has been around long enough that it ought to be in everyone's education, especially foresters! I bet they didn't teach you that trees are truly sentient and I have found that the older, larger ones, who she calls Mother Trees, are the most advanced, loving and wise. Think of that next time you cut down an ancient tree. "Not only the other half of our lungs, they may be the other half of our hearts."
- Tree Love: Heart of the Forest
Awesome video. Would love to see Hello Fresh treat it’s workers more fairly as we begin to care more about our environment. There’s so much we can learn from trees. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, that advertisement at the end was ridiculous, showing endless packaging, etc. Makes me feel I'd have to include a caveat if I recommend this video to others. There are many less planet-damaging ways to conserve food.
"Seeing as that they can't get up and leave..." 🤣🤣🤣
leaf :)
"The Ents are going to war."
Oh, I disagree! The locust tree in my friend’s front yard got up and left when the F-3 tornado passed by. We saw it go.
All jokes aside, I'm a genuine tree hugger. I feel them, and they feel me. Their energy is palpable for me, they feel like silent, observant beings. I've said since I was young that I feel that I'm a tree in human form. Trees are healers, and they are here and watching, even willing and sacrificing themselves as part of a much greater, Divine purpose, here to help us. Most don't even recognize this. I can walk past a tree and feel it's strength, it's comfort, it's awareness. I hug them when they are offering one, lol. Or when I'm depressed or sad, or when I feel happy and grateful. They truly are silent friends, offering so much to us in many ways. We just have to notice. I Love 🌳🌲🌴💓

Very touching.
I hope humans soon will have more humble ideas about their knowledge.
Trees are a record of Mother Nature's pain
I've done many things in my life, from growing up on a farm to being an environmental engineer and now in retirement I'm Trying to create an Oasis in the Desert. I thought I knew a lot but this was one of the most fascinating things I've run across in years.
This is why selective cutting is better, over clear cutting.
Purposed growth is best. Planting trees specifically to be harvested. Austrees went under the radar quickly after they were created, but they still offer useable timber in five years or less. There are a lot of things you can do to alter density and strength.
Along with allowing natural regeneration rather than planting. Local seedlings will adapt to the soil and climate better and it eliminates the problem of importing diseases from other areas and countries.
@@portcullis5622 artificial regeneration uses seeds from the local “seed zone”, but climate change is forcing us to look at artificially migrating species to place them in areas that will have climates more similar to their native regions throughout their lives. This means putting them at higher elevations and latitudes, because they are likely to be poorly adapted to the predicted drier and hotter climate in their native area. I do agree that Mother Nature knows better than us, but if we want to survive this climate crisis, we’re going to have to adapt faster than Mother Nature does naturally
As a forestry student, I was impressed, appreciate and thankful for this video because it can help me to gain more knowledge about trees.
Mother trees!!! i was hoping you would have this in the video!
We have more than one form of communication. All forms of existence communicate with each other. The tree knows who you are and what you are about. And is aware enough to identify you and share this knowledge with other trees.
I don’t understand sometimes with science why we think things must all follow under one absolute law. Life is complex, and we are many times boxing it in. I feel like we are comparing our own experiences or animals which are similar to that of other things in nature that are obviously extremely different. I’m not surprised at all by trees sharing information. It makes sense. Additionally, I feel our biggest success in humanity have usually come from sharing or during times of working together to accomplish a goal.
I just noticed the "R#" at the corner of the screen stands for reference to read the articles yourself!!
This is just beautiful. I love trees. They are so amazing.
Proposed a bold new idea and got laughed out of the room. Proven right when science eventually caught up with his brilliance. Now where have we heard that before?
Thank you so much for this video, its really fascinating to learn how complex nature really is.
A Hello Fresh ad? I'm bombarded with their ads already. Just mention them, that should suffice.
Tons of plastic isn't getting recycled so the most responsible thing to do is find a retailer that can send you bulk items not packaged in plastic. I like Azure Standard. All of the legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts come in paper, which is actually recycled in a lot of cases, but if it's not, at least it will naturally decompose. It also doesn't have a plastic lining on the inside which makes me really happy.
You can also use your own cloth bags for fresh produce when you shop.
I eat very little processed foods because it's not healthy and it always comes in plastic. If you eat a whole food plant based diet, you mostly will not be using a bunch of plastic if you order your food from a retailer using plant based packaging.
I was always under the impression that most of the "computing power" here comes from the fungi, not the tress, so it's more like the mushrooms that have a secret language.
No hardware useless software and the other way around.
No the fungi is the messenger
Maybe it would be more helpful to see it as the fungi benefit from healthy trees, so deliver the mail (messages) between trees. The trees benefit from healthy fungii, and share resources as the fungi deliver messages.
The grandmother tree shares her information, passes along directions like "there's a forest fire coming, close up leaves, shift sap to the roots and water to the trunk to survive the fire" which the fungi pass along because destroyed trees will allow for soil erosion and destruction of the fungi.
Of course, animals and insects see / smell the difference in the trees, and head away from the fire.
It's almost like everything but the humans recognizes that we are all interconnected and damaging one, damages all.....
@@humanbean7884 maybe I am misunderstanding?
It sounds like you and I agree that interconnectedness used to be the norm, until a hierarchy was allowed to evolve [by humans] that interrupted our relationships with one another as well as with the planet around us.
Are we both in agreement on that?
Nice, I just learned about this on the Alien Worlds documentary on Netflix.
Alien worlds left a lot to be desired, also its not the trees talking, its the fungi.
Great doc
@@WeAllWitnessed trees can "talk" through fungi, so it's not wrong.
@@biomutarist6832 like how humans can digest because of bacteria.
I once did shrooms and since then I don’t see my body as a human body I see myself as a tree. Like if I go out I see that exact reflection in me. Human body is like a tree instead of branches and twigs we have veins and arteries. If our roots are strong we can face anything like trees when faced with harsh climatic conditions. Nature is my role model, it has taught me alot about letting go. So every Autum I cry when they shed off leaves which teaches us how gracefully they accept change and let go and surrender.
Actually that is true. We share most of our DNA with trees, with same or other-handed molecules such as neuropeptides and hormones. The only big difference between a red blood cell and a chloroplast is that the red blood cell contains iron and the chloroplast contains magnesium. We have a localized brain whereas the tree has a distributed one; the entire tree is the brain. Makes sense in case you lose a limb, to have your intelligence everywhere.
My heart is totally shattered to see them cutting those trees… 💔
I know me too. I hate seeing it. Where I live it's all over too. Its so sad.😢
Same 😔
Now I know, we didn't even invent the internet, we just rediscovered a faster and unsustainable version of it.
There is a book named 'The Secret Life of Trees' written by Peter Wohleben. It is like this video: entertaining and full of infos without getting boring.
there is a life force. you could sit on a corner in any city watching hundreds of people pass by and still feel alone. If you sit in the bush, for some reason, you don't feel alone. I have been working in cities and bushes for the last 50 years and I do completely believe that the trees give off a force of comfort to humans and animals.
They give off negative ions that help us.
@@christieferrell2611 much more than just that. There is a life force that they emit.
@SamJones - I love that so much!! I've had a very similar experience as well💚💯

I can't thank you enough for the content you share with us for free. Every video you upload makes me (and I'm sure many other!) Interesting in a new topic. I'm an electronics major and I've never found interest in biology, yet your videos and their respective subjects always make me want to learn more.
Keep up the good work, cheers from Israel ❤️

This is so INSANELY GOOD! The music, the narration, and most of all it is content LOADED. Every other sentence is new information. I have to go back a lot to make sure I get all of it! Then there is the underlying theme which is never even spoken: Take CARE of this Earth!! BraVO Real Science!! 💚💚💚
Back in the early 1950's I fell in love with a smooth barked, cool... if somewhat shady fig tree that let me sleep among supporting limbs and be caressed by large lobed leaves and always offering delicious ripe figs. The only thing to worry about was an occasional tarantula hawk (wasp) that was also welcome to eat figs.Trees are a portal through which mother earth sustains those of us that are more mobile
Since I began talking about trees being loving and sentient, so many people have whispered to me, "I've never told anyone this but..." and shared similar stories of receiving love, healing, succor, and knowledge from trees.
Love the science behind this
I was researching this topic this week. What timing. Thank you
To add more idea for the end part of this video :
My self :personally I try to do home made cleaning supply and skin care hair care products on my own : so far this year I dedicate myself no longer buy : deodorizer, hair shampoo , laundry softener , white Vinegar , glass cleaner , house cleaner all kind ! I’m debating on Clorox (bleach ) , no more buying foot odor spray , mouth rinse , pest and insect bait and spray supply , car cleaner liquid, air fresher plug in , and what do I make to use for replace all those plastic and chemical stuff that cause health issue and also so much waste to land fields and toxic chemical harming out tree and planet ? : I made Bio Enzyme liquid the best part : I made from fruit and vegetable waste from kitchen waste : orange peel , pineapple peels , lemon peel apple peel n core , head of carrot cucumber ! After harvesting Boo Enzyme the further fermented fruit peel can go to community garden for help improve soil and help great root supports under ground ! The best way to giving back to our plant to thank them and they will give me more gift back with fruits and veggies for me to keep thanking them and giving back to them 💯🕉🌈💕🙏🏾♻️☮️🕉♻️🐝🌿☘️🎊☘️🌿♻️💕
I love this channel. I love having all sorts of knowledge and information.
I totally agree with you on self accountability and responsibility, I wrote about how what we do on a small level creates the change on a larger level quite a while ago. Everybody needs to be held accountable in the same direction.
what if each and every human was to carry around on their backs all the garbage they have consumed over a period of a year. we wouldn’t be able to walk. that’s how heavy our garbage loads are.
As a horticulturist and landscape architect i have spent a lot of time in the understanding of which plants perform best over a long period of time especially in regenerating parklands where group plantings even in open spaces performed and grew stronger and faster than isolating single trees. The use of layering of species along with the pioneer sp.s like acacias for nitrogen fixation which in turn provides food for the longer living trees.
Trees are the perfect representation of the term "As above so is as below "We definitely need to pay more attention to our carbon fixated friends!
Yes, Suzanne Simard talks about this extensively in her book, "Finding the Mother Tree." In Permaculture it is implied. I believe organic regenerative agriculture could benefit from more knowledge about how to create these "super-organisms" as much as possible on our farms.
Lets hope the right people get and use this information.
For the good of us all and soon in Jesus Name....
I just wish we could change things before it's too late.
Thats a good start man, it shows hope. Now try to command the changes you want, with any chance you get, while giving thanks to the universe or whatever you feel is right, feel your connection my friend! Much love!
I'm happy there are still many like minded people, it seems most people around me dont care. Im starting my 2nd year in Applied Ecology in september, im gonna try my best to do my part in this situations
The tree's are to be honored, not destroyed and wasted.
Tree's are sacred as is water.

Wow, this was eye-opening 🤯
The indigenous people didn't cut the biggest trees because they believed that they belong to the gods.
This ancient policy is also backed up by science now.
The indigenous people spent more time collecting observational data on the plants although the theory behind was filled by religious beliefs. Although they didn't had modern science, their practical knowledge complement it.
Oh, I didn't know that. In my region too, we used to pray especially old trees believing a deity resides in them. The practice still continues in rural areas. The commoners may not know the science behind it, but such practices must have been thought up by someone who had lots of observational skills and scientific aptitude.
