  The primary challenge in detecting ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrinos with
energies exceeding $10^{16}$ eV is to instrument a large enough volume to
detect the extremely low flux, which falls as $\sim E^{-2}$. We explore in this
article the feasibility of using the forest as a detector. Trees have been
shown to be efficient broadband antennas, and may, without damage to the tree,
be instrumented with a minimum of apparatus. A large scale array of such trees
may be the key to achieving the requisite target volumes for UHE neutrino
astronomy.
