WNC treehouse builders : Window into the World of a Tree Lately, science is telling us what ancestral people always knew: that forests and trees (and all of the natural world) are alive and have a form of awareness. Trees live in community with each other and the living beings on and around them, nourishing and being nourished by a vast web of life. Like the birds and lichens, when you build your haven in a tree, you get a window into the life and healing presence of the forest and the tree itself.
