About this event
After a year in which the Pacific Northwest has been pummeled by the impacts of climate change, there may be no one we need to hear from more than Suzanne Simard.
Dr. Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; revealing the truths about the complex and interdependent life of trees, truths vital to enabling a sustainable future.
Her groundbreaking work has influenced filmmakers (James Cameron’s Avatar, and authors (Richard Power’s The Overstory), and her TED talks have garnered more than 10 million views worldwide.
Join us February 15 for a wide ranging discussion in which Dr Simard will describe not only her fascinating findings, but also her personal journey from growing up in the rainforests of British Columbia to becoming a scientific world leader, overcoming, along the way, a deeply entrenched and skeptical scientific community.
