This weekend we watched Call of the Forest, the Forgotten Wisdom of Trees<\/a>, a marvelous feature documentary about the formidable healing powers of trees \u2014 both psychological and physiological \u2014 and the role they play in nourishing land, air, and oceans. Biochemist and botanist Diana Beresford-Kroeger guided us into “the essentials of what a tree is all about”, something she says most people have missed. She forges an expansive, holistic, science-based view of trees through visits to the Boreal forest of Canada, “forest-bathing”regions in Japan, and he Redwood forests in the United States.<\/p>\n

In this film, I show you the great great systems of trees that are still there. There are very few of them left but they hold the same chromosome patterns, DNA patterns that you have and I have. But there’s one caveat in all of this: the DNA of a tree is greater than yours. They function in a more sophisticated manner because they can’t move around like you and I. They move toward the sun and they farm the sun…<\/em><\/p>\n

…It is a way of thinking about this planet that you have never thought before.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
