Native plants and native wildlife working together to keep habitats thriving. This American Lady butterfly is shown nectaring on the tiny blooms of white yarrow, a native plant that provides an important food source for many pollinators.

“You may know Suzanne Simard as the scientist behind the groundbreaking research that revealed how trees are connected through underground fungal networks and how older "Mother Trees" help support the health of an entire forest.

Her work transformed our understanding of what forests really are. Not collections of individual trees, but living communities.”

Dr. Suzanne Simard explains that a conservation-minded approach to logging can protect forests while satisfying economic interests.
