Description
Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard
In this groundbreaking book, world-leading scientist Suzanne Simard reveals how she discovered the secrets of the forest.
About the Book
Raised in the resilient forest communities of British Columbia, scientist Suzanne Simard challenged conventional beliefs by proving that trees and plants are interconnected underground by a vast web of fungal mycelia. At the center of this network are the Mother Trees—mysterious, powerful entities that sustain the forest.
Finding the Mother Tree is the story of a lifetime spent uncovering startling truths about trees—their perceptions, behaviors, healing capacities, language, memory, and wisdom. Simard’s landmark work has been immensely influential, revealing the complex cycle of forest life, on which we rely for our existence, and offering profound lessons about resilience and kinship.
