Event Notes

Suzanne Simard is professor of Forest Ecology, Department of Forest and Conservation sciences, Faculty of Forestry at UBC.

Dr Simard works primarily in forests, but also grasslands, wetlands, tundra and alpine ecosystems. She is particularly known for her work on belowground networks that connect the creatures of the forest, and how these are fundamental to the complex adaptive nature of ecosystems. She strives to communicate this research so that it is understandable and usable to all people. To that end, she is dedicated to empowering people with science-based knowledge and tools to manage and heal the land from human impacts including climate change.

Her recent book Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest has received glowing reviews and has caught the public’s imagination worldwide.

The Salt Spring Forum is delighted to welcome her for what should be a fascinating discussion.

A fundraiser for the Salt Spring Island Conservancy.
