Answer 14

The answer to your questions comes from The Hobbit:

Between Bree and the Shire is the Old Forest, mostly unchanged for generations of men and hobbits. Legends have been handed down that the Old Forest is dangerous, that the trees listen and watch and do not like strangers, and that open tracks seem to shift and change. Some hobbits insist that the trees move about and at times surround intruders and hem them in. Old stories declare that in daylight the trees are usually content to watch, except for the more unfriendly ones, but at night in the Old Forest things can be most alarming. Certainly it is a fact that something makes paths. In most of the Old Forest one still sees what Frodo and his friends encountered: tree-trunks of innumerable sizes and shapes, straight or bent, twisted, leaning, squat or slender, smooth or gnarled and branched; and all the stems green or grey with moss and slimy, shaggy fungi.........
