Hidden Life of Trees

by Peter Wohlleben

Peter Wohlleben, a forester, presents observations about forest ecosystems, describing interactions among trees, soil, and other organisms. He critiques common forestry practices, explains the loss of biodiversity, and argues that new old‑growth forests are necessary to restore ecological diversity. The book is structured without a single narrative thread, offering a series of insights that may initially feel disjointed but ultimately provide a deeper understanding of forest life.
