THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

'A scientific memoir as gripping as any HBO drama series' Kate Kellaway, Observer

A dazzling scientific detective story from the ecologist who first discovered the hidden language of trees


No one has done more to transform our understanding of trees than the world-renowned scientist Suzanne Simard. Now she shares the secrets of a lifetime spent uncovering startling truths about trees: their cooperation, healing capacity, memory, wisdom and sentience.

Raised in the forests of British Columbia, where her family has lived for generations, Professor Simard did not set out to be a scientist. She was working in the forest service when she first discovered how trees communicate underground through an immense web of fungi, at the centre of which lie the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful entities that nurture their kin and sustain the forest.

Though her ground-breaking findings were initially dismissed and even ridiculed, they are now firmly supported by the data. As her remarkable journey shows us, science is not a realm apart from ordinary life, but deeply connected with our humanity.

In Finding the Mother Tree, she reveals how the complex cycle of forest life - on which we rely for our existence - offers profound lessons about resilience and kinship, and must be preserved before it's too late.

Fascinating and mind opening..but a heavy reading

The work of Suzanne SIMARD is truly mind boggling and what she proves about trees lives and ecosystem is of the uttermost importance, now more than ever.

However I didn’t enjoy the reading that much, definitively not a book that you read all at once …but a must read nonetheless
