Humans have been communicating with nature since they found themselves here on Earth.

Below are books I have enjoyed on this subject . . .

Also: Take a great ride on this subject in my eco-novel The Children of Gaia

There is a good deal  more in my forthcoming non-fiction DEVA—Our Relationship with the Subtle World.

NEW! People of the Earth – A valuable addition to the genre, this New Zealand publication records communications between the book’s four contributors and a range of disembodied spirit entities, including nature spirits and others associated with plants or ecosystems. In my view it makes two particularly valuable contributions to the literature, the first being a demonstration of the integrity of the participants in these joint communication sessions. Second, is the Appendix, which deserves a more notable title and more prominent placement as it lays out an excellent framework by which we can understand how such communications work and where the spirit beings that are contacted ‘fit’. It offers a coherent perspective on how life is constructed at all levels of density and subtlety. The terminology may differ from other schema but the essential understanding is well described and extremely useful.  By Peter Calvert, Richard Bently, Carolyn Longden, Trisha Wren, Pub.

The Biggest Little Farm as well as being a beautiful documentary to watch, offers a great example of how knowledge, dedication, trust and sheer hard work can turn a barren waste into a thriving, productive eco system that feeds both humans and wildlife. (Set in California but with lessons for other parts of planetary humanity as well).

In addition to the above, just do a search using these sorts of phrases:
