How trees talk to each other | Suzanne Simard

"A forest is much more than what you see," says ecologist Suzanne Simard. Her 30 years of research in Canadian forests have led to an astounding discovery — trees talk, often and over vast distances. Learn more about the harmonious yet complicated social lives of trees and prepare to see the natural world with new eyes.

"This is not a book about how we can save the trees. This is a book about how the trees might save us."

In her groundbreaking debut, @Suzanne Simard, a world-renowned forest scientist, shares the insights of a lifetime dedicated to uncovering the hidden lives of trees. Finding the Mother Tree reveals the astonishing ways trees cooperate, heal, remember, and communicate, highlighting their profound intelligence and sentience.

Simard’s journey demonstrates that science is deeply intertwined with our humanity. Through her research, she shows how the complex cycles of forest life—essential to our survival—offer lessons in resilience, kinship, and interconnectedness.

Finding the Mother Tree is more than a book about forests; it is a call to understand, respect, and preserve the natural systems that sustain us.

"my" oak it's impropriu said...but some will get it. Trees know better than Santa Clause if you were good or not.

Who else is tired of the corporate overdose of commercials on this Tube? At this point we are saturated and need relief from this greed and social harvesting. It’s a bit much now.

Canada losing more forestry than Brazil... really?

I like this lady's attitude, and her quite like her style of presentation.

I found this video after watching a semi-clickbait yet serious video about trees sensing and preparing for a partial solar eclipse as far as 14 hours in advance, according to electrical signals they send. Because the eclipse light change cannot cause that, they theorized the gravitational alignment of Sun/Moon/Earth causing it.

Sadly, what they used as a control to compare the tree responses to, was a "normal day". Ugh How can a large group of academics just choose random days as the control to compare a solar eclise day to? Why not other new moon days? So, they end up claiming that maybe trees have calculated complex solar eclipse Saros cycles, when the more simple explanation is that the trees have figured out the full/new moon cycles which happen like clockwork.

Anyway, using a normal day as the control is insufficient. They needed to use a variety of new-moon days, such as ones which just barely missed being a partial eclipse, and ones which widely missed it. What they are attributing to a solar eclipse, might in fact just be attributed to a new moon. The midpoint of a total solar eclipse is not just exactly a new moon, but with Sun, Moon, and observer all collinear. The midpoint of a partial eclipse is exactly a new moon and only slightly off from being collinear. A non-eclipse new moon is equally "new" but even less collinear, to varying degrees.

A random "normal day" is fairly useless as a control, and in fact even in that case, considering that the gravitational hypothesis is deemed worthy of consideration, the distances and angles should be provided, studied, and correlated with the observations.

The pine beetle has been decimating the forests from Canada to Mexico. Unless something changed recently, all that wood is WASTED and not allowed to be harvested. These are the rules and laws our elected shitheads make, talk to them.

I love trees. Tree's that are clear-cut were planted to be harvested, tree's are renewable resource. It sounds like you're suggesting we stop cutting tree's because the communicate and have consciousness. Are we to go without paper? Here's a question, why don't the ISA and Canada allow logging companies to harvest useable wood from burned out forests? Many, of so-called environmentalists are nothing of the sort. You want save trees, don't target logging companies or clear-cutting, target the shitheads we elected who didn't allow all the brush (fuel) to be cleared in LA prior to the last fires.

"And they love Holy land hymns and music too"!

And that's an easy way to know they are alive and vibrant too!!!

Tell that reader, and I, the typer, will repeat this


The reader, not all readers, just the naysayers,

"If you don't enjoy the livelyness of life like they, the trees do,,,then you arnt alive I guess!

They like speakers in the wilderness too!!!

Speakers as in "woofers that relay sound life and is pleasant and heart warming" to the trees too
