Books & Ideas: Suzanne Simard in Conversation with Robert Moor
May 21 2026 @ 7:00 pm PDT

Renowned forest ecologist Suzanne Simard joins the Vancouver Writers Fest with a new trailblazing work of environmental nonfiction. When the Forest Breathes is an emboldening declaration that when we take responsible steps, reversing the effects of climate change is within reach. She speaks with Robert Moor, the bestselling author of On Trails and the new book In Trees, which explores how trees—from the mightiest sequoia to the tiniest bonsai—can teach us to grow wise.
