My review:????

Finding the Mother Tree; Uncovering the Wisdom and Intelligence of the Forest by Suzanne Simard is her story of how she discovered that trees co-operate with each other, to help them all grow more.

This is a very atmospheric book, where you are taken on a journey through woods, to look more closely at trees, and how they grow. 

Suzanne Simard also shares with us how it was as a woman in this field, especially a woman who had ideas that most others thought were ridiculous.  There is scientific information, and you are guided through what this means and why.

I enjoyed this autobiographical story of Suzanne Simard’s discoveries, and what they meant, and the effect all of this had on her personal life.  

Finding the Mother Tree was published on 4th May 2021 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

You can follow Suzanne Simard on Instagram and her website.  You can watch her talk on ‘How trees talk to each other‘ which is her TED talk.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Penguin Books.
