Named to Time’s 100 most influential people 2024 list – in the icon category – Suzanne Simard, UBC professor, leader of The Mother Tree Project, and Fall 2024 Royal Roads University’s Honorary Doctorate recipient will give a public talk at the Dogwood Auditorium during Convocation week.
Her book, Finding the Mother Tree, brings us into the intimate world of trees, exploring the ways in which trees learn and adapt their behaviors, remember the past, demonstrate agency over the future, and cooperate with a sophistication typically ascribed to humans.
Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
