CITIZENS IN ACTION

IN THE COMPANY OF TREES • BY ANNABELLE MIMOUNI
Trees aren’t what they seem to be: they are actually remarkable beings that communicate and build social relationships. What would you say to looking at trees in a new way, to sprucing up your view of the living beings we see almost wherever we look, that provide us with shade and listen in on our conversations? What would we discover about these beings that are both so ordinary and yet so exceptional? We could start by looking up and opening our eyes to the simple fact that they’re all around us. They’re everywhere—in the city, along roads, in forests, in the country, standing tall across the landscape.
