Trees can count, learn, remember, nurse sick neighbours and even warn each other of danger by sending electrical signals across a fungal network known as the “Wood Wide Web.” Trees also keep the ancient stumps of long-felled companions alive for centuries by feeding them through their roots. This scientifically rigorous and simultaneously magical event will change the way you look at our woodlands forever.
Note: changes have been made to this event since the program was printed. This event will now take place at Granville Island Stage.
Suitable for Grades 8-12 and adults. Peter Wohlleben's appearance is made possible by the Goethe-Institut. Generously supported by The Rix Foundation.
