What We Are Reading Today: When the Forest Breathes by Suzanne Simard

Suzanne Simard’s “When the Forest Breathes” uncovers the ways that nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal can ensure the longevity of threatened ecosystems.

Simard examines how human interventions — particularly destruction of the mother trees — endanger new growth and longevity.

If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom, she argues, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come.
