Mother Trees & The Social Forest

TREES FOR GOOD FILM SERIES

7:00 – 8:30 PM via Zoom

Beneath the forest floor trees are communicating and exchanging resources. Forest Ecologist Suzanne Simard reveals that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground mycorrhizal networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities and share and exchange resources and support.

Simard's extraordinary research and tenacious efforts to raise awareness about the interconnectedness of forest systems has revolutionized our understanding of forest ecology.

We'll watch two video clips of Simard (TED.com and Long Now Foundation), followed by a brief discussion.
