When Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard discovered how trees communicate through fungal networks her finding were dismissed and ridiculed. But today she is world renowned for transforming our understanding of the lives of forests. She was the inspiration for one of the protagonists in Richard Powers magnificent novel, ‘The Overstory’… and Amy Adams is set to play her in a forthcoming movie of her life. Suzanne has just published a memoir called ‘Finding the Mother Tree’ and on a recent trip to the UK she joined author and traveller Sophy Roberts to tell her story live at The Conduit.
