Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard

Trees, like humans, thrive with community and in connection with one another. Simard introduces the concept of the “Mother Tree”–the tree that holds the entire forest together. They are key to the long-time survival of forests and the severance of the Mother Tree from the rest of the network can cause a cascade of negative ecological effects. This book is a blend of scientific writing and the author’s personal stories.
