SUMMARY:Suzanne Simard in Conversation With Ferris Jabr
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 1 as we welcome forestry scientist and bestselling author Suzanne Simard!\n\n\nWith her bestselling book Finding the Mother Tree\, forest ecologist Suzanne Simard introduced the world to the profound intelligence and interconnectedness of trees. Now\, with When the Forest Breathes (Knopf)\, she uncovers the ways that nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal can ensure the longevity of threatened ecosystems. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship\, Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires\, water crises\, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest\, she reveals\, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration — from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones — that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities\, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed\, Simard examines how human interventions — particularly destruction of the overstory’s mother trees — endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom\, she argues\, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish\, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life\, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them\, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability\, resilience\, and community. Simard will be joined in conversation by Ferris Jabr\, author of Becoming Earth: A Journey Through the Hidden Wonders That Bring Our Planet to Life. \nPlease note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission\, as well as one hardcover copy of When the Forest Breathes. Books distributed at event.
