Have just finished watching this amazing and eye opening documentary on BBC1. I have always loved trees, and walk in the woods now as often as possible, but after all the new information (to me) gleaned from this great hour of TV, will now feel as if I 'understand' the tree communities and how they communicate and actually help each other out in a whole new light. If anyone missed this - please find time to see it on catch up. You won`t be sorry.

I can see what you mean Pete - it wasn't what I was expecting either. I didn't fall asleep but for anyone who knew about trees it was no eye opener. Great for educating kids though. I found Judi Dench a bit irritating but I loved her planting of trees to remember loved ones and naming them was a lovely touch. I wish I had more room for trees because they are magical.
However small your garden you should always set aside at least a couple of acres for woodland. Not sure who it was, said that now. Edit. Think it might have been Alan Tichmarsh
We watched this last evening and found it quiet educational and it is nice learning new stuff even at our age and also the fact that I love trees so much and not sure if you know but anyone can buy parcels of woodland in the country so we could all be woodland owners if we had enough cash to buy a bit Don’t know if anyone watching it noticed that Judi Dench was clinging a bit on to the various people she had visit her but evidently she is suffering from Macula Degeneration so I expect she was having trouble seeing the trees and where she was walking Also loved the little red squirrel at the wildlife sanctuary run by her partner and we both agreed we should like to go and visit the place next year when the weather improves and I am back on my feet so to speak
