Living Stories: Nature's Narratives

This chapter explores the concept of 'living stories' within nature, using a fallen Douglas fir branch as a focal point. The speakers discuss the interplay between traditional ecological knowledge and modern scientific understanding, emphasizing how both perspectives can enrich our appreciation of ecosystems. They highlight the importance of recognizing the intelligence and communication of non-human beings, advocating for a deeper humility and appreciation for the complexities of life in the natural world.
