The Forest – A Wonder of Nature

Everything about the forest is a wonder: every seed, the network of roots, the light that shines through the canopy, the refreshing air. Erwin Thoma expertly narrates how the forest came to be and what we owe to it. Thus, an extraordinary book about trees emerged, filled with fascinating stories and myths, exciting biological details, and scientific connections:

• Growth, development, and decay – understanding the cycle of nature
• The evolution of trees and their survival strategies
• The forest as a community and the special connection between humans and trees
• How trees protect the environment and why the forest is healing for people

Entertainingly and with great expertise, told by an author who is both a down-to-earth nature enthusiast and an experienced entrepreneur in timber construction.

Forest Ecosystem – A Unique Opportunity for Our Future

Erwin Thoma learned the ancient knowledge about the connections between wood, forest, and moon from his grandfather. Since then, he has preferred to work with nature rather than against it – first as a forester, now as the head of a company specializing in energy-autonomous wooden houses and sustainable construction with solid wood. He is convinced that the time for trees and forests has come. The forest is not only an important habitat for animals and plants – it offers us opportunities to reverse the effects of climate change and the destruction of the environment and nature. All we need to do now is listen to the wisdom of the trees.

Following bestsellers like "I Saw You Grow – What Grandfather Knew About Trees" and "Gentle Medicine of Trees," Erwin Thoma's new book is a passionate appeal to us readers: Let us learn the language of trees, for it is important for our future!.
