Humans share 50% of their DNA with trees - there is an awareness of this connection when we are in a woodland that can give us a sense of wellbeing but also something more than that. It may be a primal link to the importance of trees to our ancestors for shelter, food, warmth and the connection with the seasons, the cosmos and belief systems. Trees are also a repository of information wrapped in years of growth rings that unites us with the past. With that comes both a sense of awe as well as fear of the known and unknown that we can still experience now.
