Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
nelson
creston-
thank
you
speaker
today
is
girl
guide
world
thinking
day
and
our
bc
initiative
of
guiding
lights
across
bc
on
international
day
of
the
girl
2020.
They
asked
girl
guides
from
around
the
world
what
issues
they
were
most
concerned
about
and
what
they
wanted
to
change
about
the
world.
They
discovered
that
the
number
one
concern
is
the
environment
and
so
on.
World
thinking
day,
theme
from
2022
to
2024
is
our
world
our
future.
A
A
Considering
this
year's
theme,
I
wanted
to
introduce
to
the
house
suzanne
simard
a
resident
of
nelson,
a
ubc
professor,
a
world-leading
forest
ecologist
and
a
former
brownie
and
the
author
of
finding
the
mother
tree
discovering
the
wisdom
of
the
forest
one
of
the
ways
in
bc.
We
can
sequester
carbon,
protect,
valuable
ecosystems
and
ensure
we
are
resilient
in
the
face
of
climate
change
is
to
manage
our
forests
in
a
sustainable
way.
A
I
would
like
to
read
an
excerpt
from
her
book
when
mother
trees,
the
majestic
hubs
at
the
center
of
forest
communication,
protect
protection
and
sentience
die.
They
pass
their
wisdom
to
their
kin
generation
after
generation,
sharing
the
knowledge
of
what
helps
what
harms,
who
is
friend
or
foe,
and
how
to
adapt
and
survive
in
an
ever-changing
landscape.
A
A
Why
do
they
have
human-like
behaviors
and
why
do
they
work
like
civil
societies
after
a
lifetime
as
a
forest
detective,
my
perception
of
the
woods
has
been
turned
upside
down
with
each
new
revelation.
I
am
more
deeply
embedded
in
the
forest.
The
scientific
evidence
is
impossible
to
ignore
the
forest
is
wired
for
wisdom,
sentience
and
healing.
This
is
not
a
book
how
about
how
we
can
save
the
trees.
This
is
a
book
about
how
trees
might
save
us.
Thank
you,
speaker.
