Gathering at IslandWood, a campus rooted in forested land and outdoor learning, alongside an organization committed to conserving and stewarding the island’s natural habitats, makes this conversation about forest systems and long-term resilience especially meaningful.We sincerely hope you'll join us for this special event.  Suzanne will be joined in conversation by WA State Master Naturalist Christina Woolf, lead curator of the Bainbridge Island Biodiversity Project and IslandWood's Senior Naturalist.  In Finding the Mother Tree, Suzanne Simard changed how many readers understand forests. She showed that they are not simply collections of individual trees, but living communities connected through vast underground fungal networks.In When the Forest Breathes, she continues that exploration.Drawing from decades of research and a lifetime shaped by forestry in British Columbia, Simard looks closely at what happens when natural cycles of death and renewal are disrupted, and what forests can teach us about restoration. She writes about fungi breaking down fallen logs, elder trees sharing resources with younger ones, and the intricate systems that allow forests to regenerate after disturbance.She reflects on her collaborations with Indigenous communities, whose long-standing stewardship practices offer models of reciprocity and care that industrial forestry has often overlooked.Woven through the science are personal reflections on her daughters stepping into adulthood and her mother nearing the end of hers. These passages remind us that regeneration and loss move together in every living system.Thoughtful and grounded, When the Forest Breathes invites readers to reconsider what resilience truly means, both in forests and in ourselves.We’re grateful for the opportunity to host Suzanne Simard at IslandWood. We extend gratitude and support to all the readers out there, and to our friends at Eagle Harbor Books and the Bainbridge Island Land Trust. We're all in this together.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/7db60620-1318-11f1-89f1-09c30f73298b-rimg-w592-h740-dc2c4a46-gmir.jpg About Suzanne SimardSuzanne Simard is Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia and author of the bestselling Finding the Mother Tree.
