A Lesson from our Mother Trees: In our Elder's Wisdom is a Guide for Surviving the future

Forest ecologist Suzanne Simard has published more than 170 articles on forest science and plant intelligence, but she is best known for her theory of the “Mother Tree”—a phenomenon that suggests forests are sustained in large part by central, large trees that share nutrients with younger saplings through networks of mycorrhiza fungi. Facing an uncertain future for themselves, Mother Trees pass their life force to their offspring to help them prepare for changes ahead. In this way, nature has given us a model for cooperative survival.
