SECOND SHOW ADDED! Thank you, Wordfesters, for making our 7PM show with Suzanne Simard our quickest sold-out show. Dr. Simard hates to disappoint her Calgary fans and so we are thrilled to announce this new 1PM appearance on Sunday, May 3 at Memorial Park Library.
Wordfest welcomes the world’s leading forest ecologist, Suzanne Simard, as we celebrate her new book, When the Forest Breathes: Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World. The in-depth conversation, hosted by journalist Christina Frangou, includes an audience Q&A and book signing, fuelled by Owls Nest Books.
“You know we used to believe that trees competed with each other for light. Suzanne Simard’s field work challenged that perception, and we now realize that the forest is a socialist community. Trees work in harmony to share the sunlight.” –Coach Beard, Ted Lasso
