I have seen a very interesting BBC programme about trees. The actor Dame Judi Dench guided the viewers through the programme - My Passion for Trees. It's fascinating how trees communicate through their root systems. We humans are not as superior as we may think.

They stand firmly with their roots in the ground, not going anywhere, just making their contribution in nature.
