Report on the first International Tree Forum

 

The elected officials, the partners and the various actors involved have all largely collaborated to the success of this event. Both the speakers and the participants are unanimous. Some excerpts from their messages:

“… A short note to thank you for this very beautiful moment spent in your company that I experienced as a moment “out of time”! ".

“… This first forum was really a success for the choice of speakers, the scientific content, its perfect logistics and the idyllic location of Pont-en-Royans. But also thanks to your generosity and your warm welcome. ".
 

“…I learned there:
that it was necessary to "take the time of the tree"
that it was pleasant to meet around a verse
that tree roots wore mushroom socks
that plant intelligence was, perhaps, to adapt to all situations
that the rational is not the only thinking way
that local knowledge should not be opposed to the scientific approach
that there were endomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae
that cultivating empathetic thoughts benefits everyone
and that humility with the trees was essential....they don't need us!
(...and so many other things...) …”.
