“When Mother Trees – the majestic hubs at the center of forest communication, protection, and sentience – die, they pass their wisdom to their kin, generation after generation, sharing the knowledge of what helps and what harms, who is friend or foe, and how to adapt and survive in an ever-changing landscape. It’s what all parents do.” – Suzanne Simard, author of Finding the Mother Tree.
Suzanne Simard, Forest Ecologist and author of Finding the Mother Tree and newly released When the Forest Breathes shares her latest research including the role of people in the health of the forest.
