This essay explores the ecological aesthetics and ethics of contemporary poetry about trees and forests, arguing that developments in forest science and plant biology have transformed how we conceptualize the relationship between nature and culture. Drawing on recent research into mycorrhizal networks (“the wood wide web”) and systems thinking, the study traces a shift from anthropocentric views toward a “networked kinship consciousness” that emphasizes multispecies interdependency. Through close readings of works by poets such as Robert Hass, Dan Bellm, Tim Seibles, August Kleinzahler, Jane Hirshfield, Alice Oswald, Forrest Gander, Jimmy Santiago Baca, and Linda Hogan, the paper illustrates how ecopoetry models a non-anthropocentric ethic of kinship. It concludes by comparing these poetic strategies with the regenerative narrative visions of tree habitats in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke, advocating for “wildcrafting” and regenerative practices as essential cultural work in the era of the Anthropocene
