What If Trees Could Talk? with Benjamin! | Dr. Lulu Lens Show

Benjamin wishes the big old tree in the park could talk, so Dr. Lulu Lens imagines it for him, and Old Oak wakes up with two hundred years of stories to tell. Old Oak explains how roots drink water and hold on tight, how leaves catch sunshine to make food and give out the oxygen we breathe, and how one tree is home to squirrels, birds and bugs. Then Dr. Lulu shrinks underground to explore the wood wide web, the secret fungus network that links tree roots together. Kids learn how tree rings tell a tree’s age, meet a bristlecone pine that is nearly five thousand years old and Hyperion, the tallest tree in the world, follow Old Oak through the seasons, find out how to be a tree friend and join in a swaying Be a Tree game.
