Description
A compelling blend of memoir and science, this book follows a young forestry researcher’s struggle to challenge conventional practices and understand why some reforestation efforts fail. Through fieldwork in Canadian forests, she reveals the intricate mycorrhizal networks through which trees exchange resources, support one another, and respond to changing environmental conditions. Her discoveries illuminate the forest as a cooperative, interconnected community rather than a collection of competing plants, while her personal story explores perseverance, scientific skepticism, and the barriers faced by women in a male-dominated field. Accessible and deeply personal, the book offers a transformative perspective on ecology, resilience, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
