Dr. Suzanne Simard at the Audain Art Museum – NEW DATE

March 22, 2025/in News

We have rescheduled Dr. Suzanne Simard’s talk to July 15 – same time, same place. Unfortunately, she was sidelined with illness and couldn’t make the original date. If you bought a ticket through the AWARE website and can still attend, you don’t have to do anything. The tickets are automatically moved to the new date in July. There are still some left to purchase so this is a second chance if you couldn’t make it to the April date. We hope you can join us for what will be a fascinating talk!

___________________________________________________________________________

Dr. Suzanne Simard will be speaking in Whistler at the Audain Art Museum Cressy Hall on April 25 as part of the AWARE (Association of Whistler Area Residents for the Environment) Earth Week 2025 celebrations! Doors will open at 6:45 for a one hour talk with Q&A titled, Mother Trees and Forest Stewardship for a Healthy Planet.

From her website: Suzanne Simard is a Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia and the author of the book, 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.

Tickets are $30 and available through the AWARE website. Space is limited so get your ticket soon! Be sure to attend the other inspiring Earth Day events hosted by AWARE and community partners through the week.
