After escaping the Uruk-hai during the battle at the forest’s edge, Merry and Pippin flee into the depths of Fangorn. There they encounter Treebeard, the oldest of the Ents and shepherd of the trees. He carries them to his home at Wellinghall, and their tales of Saruman’s treachery against the forest rouse the Ents to march on Isengard.
