Book Study: The Hidden Life of Trees

Jubilee! Community Church 46 Wall St, Asheville

Are trees social beings? What does science tell us about how they interact? How does this change the way we interact with them? Join us as delve deep into these questions and discover the unexpected complexity of forest communities as we read the international bestseller, The Hidden Life Of Trees by forester & author Perter Wohlleben. In this 6-week book study, MountainTrue and the Creation Care Alliance will explore the forest communities of Wohlleben's book and bring in local experts to expand our knowledge of forests here in WNC.
