Saskatchewan’s north is home to part of Canada’s vast boreal forest. This Sunday, CBC’s The Nature of Things premieres its new documentary called What Trees Talk About exploring the abundance of life in the boreal forest and the risk posed to it by a changing climate. …Suzuki said he became enthralled with the fact that trees become part of a community that communicates with one another. “You can almost consider them a single organism. We have no idea how deeply interconnected they are,” said Suzuki. …”We’re worried that the boreal forest, Canada’s largest intact forest, will begin to release massive amounts of carbon that are currently stored, and that will add to climate change in a way that we can’t even predict at this point.”
