Fungi and Trees: Tree Intelligence and Communication

Have you ever heard mention of the “wood wide web”? For the final episode in the St. Lawrence University Forest Ecology students podcast series, Rae takes us on a journey through the network right below our feet. In discussion with Claire Burkum, St. Lawrence General Biology Course Manager, they discuss tree communication and intelligence - do trees talk to each other like humans, animals, or something else entirely? This episode is sure to make you think differently of the towering trunks on your next walk through the woods, and as the series finale it’s one you don’t want to miss!
