Most of the forest lives in the shadow of the giantsthat make up the highest canopy

Most of the forest lives in the shadow of the giantsthat make up the highest canopy.These are the oldest trees,with hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren.They check in with their neighbors, sharing food, supplies,and wisdom gained over their long lives.They do all this rooted in place, unable to speak, reach out, or move around.The secret to their success lies under the forest floor,where vast root systems support the towering trunks above.
