Talking Trees. Take an aural woodsy walk to explore the underground networks of plant roots and fungi that facilitate forest communication and resource sharing. We'll check out the Sounds of the Forest interactive map and listen to woodlands around the world. Learn about ultrasonic listening devices that detect thirsty trees and listen to sound art made from tree growth rings. Featured artists include Bartholomas Traubec and Jean Sibelius, and the featured scientist is forest ecologist Suzanne Simard.
