“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.

Not sure why that happens. One other reader has the same issue. I will contact WordPresss. If I learn anything useful, I’ll message you!
I am right now listening to the interview a third time. I hear more each time. I write fiction and try to weave in the ecology of the land, too. My career was in environmental education. But, I’ve always loved being in the forest or at the shore….
Emergence Magazine is one of my “watering holes” and I highly recommend it. Tell me about your experiences related to the land where you live….
