To Speak For The Trees

More about the book

Canadian botanist and biochemist Diana Beresford-Kroeger offers groundbreaking insights into the hidden life of trees, reshaping our understanding of forests and their vital role in healing both humanity and the planet. Orphaned as a child, Diana was taken in by the O'Donoghue elders in County Cork, who immersed her in ancient Celtic traditions. This grounding in the philosophy of mind, body, and soul, along with teachings on healing and the laws of trees, shaped her unique perspective on nature's interconnectedness. Her scholarly background led to significant scientific discoveries, including the concept of mother trees as central to forest ecosystems, and the revelation that trees communicate through a chemical language in a quantum realm. She emphasizes that trees release aerosols that heal living beings and possess natural antibiotics, while also playing a crucial role in regulating the atmosphere and stabilizing the climate. This narrative not only chronicles her journey as a scientist but also underscores the urgent need to recognize the importance of trees as a solution to climate change. By understanding the intricate connections between all living creatures and global forests, we can address the self-destructive behaviors leading to environmental crises like fires, droughts, and floods.
