Now she shares the secrets of a lifetime spent uncovering startling truths about trees: their cooperation, healing capacity, memory, wisdom and sentience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRaised in the forests of British Columbia, where her family has lived for generations, Professor Simard did not set out to be a scientist.
