FINDING THE MOTHER TREE: A CONVERSATION WITH SUZANNE SIMARD

Did you know below the forest floor is an underground world of fungal networks that allow trees to communicate and act as a single being?

Join us for a webinar with TED Speaker and UBC Professor Suzanne Simard to celebrate the launch of her new book, Finding the Mother Tree, a moving account of her scientific quest to discover the tree elders that nurture forests in ways that remind us of human families – by caring for each other, sharing food, and sheltering their young.

Following a reading from the book, SCBC will facilitate a discussion and Q&A with Dr. Simard. We will also hear from Kwakwaka’wakw artist Rande Cook and SCBC’s Robin Strong and Flossie Baker, who will update attendees on the current old-growth movement in B.C.

Join us for this fascinating conversation about the wisdom of the forest on Wednesday, May 19 from 7:00-8:30 p.m.!
