"Finding the Mother Tree reminds us that the world is a web of stories, connecting us to one another. [The book] carries the stories of trees, fungi, soil and bears--and of a human being listening in on the conversation. The interplay of personal narrative, scientific insights and the amazing revelations about the life of the forest make a compelling story."—Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass
In addition to writing about the fascinating life of trees, Simard writes of her own life, growing up in the rainforests of British Columbia, and how she came to love and respect the trees. She helps us understand how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world.
