Beneath the forest canopy, trees keep a quiet secret: their crowns never touch. This episode explores crown shyness, the natural phenomenon where gaps of light form between the treetops - a living pattern of distance, balance, and cooperation.

Join us as we unpack the science behind this elegant behavior, from wind abrasion to light recognition, and what it reveals about forest intelligence.

A journey that begins with observation and ends with reflection: how the forest teaches us the value of leaving space for light.
