Suzanne Simard, Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest

Suzanne Simard
We can continue pushing our earth out of balance, with greenhouse gases accelerating each year, or we can regain balance by acknowledging that if we harm one species, one forest, one lake, this ripples through the entire complex web. Mistreatment of one species is mistreatment of all. The rest of the planted has been waiting patiently for us to figure that out.
