Wolleben was just a small forester, but he found the whole world in the forest.
Remember a book about nature that Tadpole Jun recommended in May this year? It's Forest Ranger – Peter Worreben's Nature's Social Network.
Born in Bonn, Germany, 54-year-old Peter Worley has longed for nature since childhood, and at the age of 6 he aspired to become a guardian of nature
After the book was published in Germany, it caused a sensational effect, tens of millions of fans went crazy, and after the introduction of the United States, it swept the list of popular science books in the United States and Asia, and Peter Worleyben also became a popular writer of popular science books.
The forest inspires us far more than you might think. No, the book's sister edition, "The Wonderful Journey of the Forest," is also available.
So happy, Tadpole Jun has gathered the suit again~

First of all, let's talk about the covers of this series – all from Rousseau's classics.
Under Rousseau's brush, the jungle scenery full of fantasy colors, overflowing with the mysterious atmosphere of dreams and dreams, can easily lead people to the longing and expectation of nature.
Flipping the pages is like walking in a tropical forest, greeting the animals you meet one by one...
The small folio is hardcovered and oiled, showing a beautiful and calm oil painting texture.
Nevin specially selected delicate and clean offset paper, the freshness of the face.
The exquisite hand-painted light allows you to regain the joy of seeing nature for the first time as a child.
If you can identify the species of birds in your home forest, you can compile a purely private bird clock system based on their songs.
Each species of bird has its own time to sing—or rather, sing according to its own position of the sun. Compared to the lark, which begins chirping an hour and a half before the sun fully rises, the willow warbler (a small insectivorous bird) waits 1 hour after sunrise to enter its state.
If you don't want to go around in circles in the woods, there's a simple rule of thumb: keep going downhill until you get back to the main road.
This way, although there may be some detours, it will not be whirling around in the forest without a clue. If you encounter a stream of water on your way down the mountain, you can walk in the direction of the current (which is also along the way down the mountain).
What if a heavy rain falls and you are neither wearing a raincoat nor an umbrella? In this case, you can choose to go under the tree to avoid the rain, but it is crucial to choose the right tree species correctly.
Broad-leaved trees stretch their branches diagonally upwards so that water can converge through the branches downwards, along the trunk to reach their roots. So oaks and beechs actually collect rainwater on rainy days, so if you stand under these kinds of trees on rainy days, you will feel particularly uncomfortable.
And conifers? A lot of rainwater will flow outward along the branches, that is, in the opposite direction of the trunk, so it is always particularly dry under conifers, which you can take advantage of when dodging showers. The closer you are to the trunk of a tree like spruce, the better you can stay dry.
Reminder: The probability of all kinds of trees being struck by lightning is the same, and only the height of the tree plays a decisive role. Therefore, when lightning strikes, you should avoid sheltering from the rain on the top of the mountain, and do not seek protection under trees that are particularly large and whose canopy protrudes from the top of the forest.
Is there anything we can safely throw into the forest? You'll keep asking questions like this while hiking.
Who would want to put a slimy banana peel or a wet apple core back in their backpack? Throw it away, and these things will happily enter the bushes. They are all organic matter that turns into humus in just a few months.
However, it is best not to litter these things. Because the fruit skin may have some spray or wax to give the fruit surface an attractive luster. These substances make it harder to decompose and leave chemicals in the soil that were not previously present.
Paper towels have a similar problem, and they have a completely different effect: their very conspicuous white color seems to remind everyone that there is littering here, and that garbage attracts more garbage.
Every form of garbage, whether organic or inorganic, should be returned to its original position: in the hiker's own backpack.
If you decide to take a walk-and-go trip, take this book of Fantastic Journeys in the Forest, all of which are from this book.
