# Event Details - **Event Name**: Suzanne Simard WHEN THE FOREST BREATHES - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Simard's latest book is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community.About this EventWhen The Forest BreathesRaised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, trailblazing ecologist Suzanne Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires, water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration-from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones-that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, Simard examines how human interventions-particularly destruction of the overstory's 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.As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community.Suzanne SimardSuzanne Simard is a Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia. She is the author of the bestselling 'Finding the Mother Tree'. She is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; and has been hailed as a scientist who conveys complex, technical ideas in a way that is dazzling and profound. Her work has influenced filmmakers (the Tree of Souls in James Cameron’s Avatar) and her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide.Suzanne is known for her work on how trees interact and communicate using below-ground fungal networks, which has led to the recognition that forests have hub trees, or Mother Trees, which are large, highly connected trees that play an important role in the flow of information and resources in a forest. Her current research investigates how these complex relationships contribute to forest resiliency, adaptability and recovery and has far-reaching implications for how to manage and heal forests from human impacts, including climate change. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oxford/suzanne-simard-when-the-forest-breathes/100001981927742229 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 8, max: 25, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Oxford - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Blackwell's Bookshop - **lat**: 51.7546303 - **long**: -1.2554723 - **full address**: Blackwell's Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Suzanne Simard WHEN THE FOREST BREATHES - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1d037ecd0f522acd6bfe5875d3ba5acee1ac011e45f1457cb54be17f7acfa580-rimg-w1200-h675-dcc3c0bb-gmir.jpg?v=1769728528 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Suzanne Simard WHEN THE FOREST BREATHES being held? - **A:** Suzanne Simard WHEN THE FOREST BREATHES takes place on Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm at Blackwell's Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Suzanne Simard WHEN THE FOREST BREATHES? - **A:** Ticket prices for Suzanne Simard WHEN THE FOREST BREATHES range from GBP 8 to GBP 25 depending on the ticket type.
