Wander the world’s most remarkable forests, from threatened tropical rainforests to massive bamboo groves to sky-high sequoias. Learn to identify common trees and discover the many rare and fascinating creatures that call forests home. Meet some celebrity trees, like New Zealand’s sacred 2000-year-old Tāne Mahuta or a clonal colony of quaking aspen trees thought to be the world’s largest organism. Then, dive under the sea and explore a forest unlike any you’ve seen before: massive kelp forests!
