Forest walking : discovering the trees and… by Peter Wohlleben

An interesting and beguiling read. I had already read [The Hidden Life of Trees] and this is equally appealing.It shows how the various aspects of nature enhance one another, You do feel you are walking with author on his journey though the book. How trees change during the seasons and also through their lifetimes.Forests are different and their ecology reflects this.
