Simard’s forest research was a reckoning with her own family’s logging

Evidence

The most overlooked part of Simard’s story is the personal dimension: her grandfather had logged the forests she was now studying. Her research was, at some level, a posthumous reckoning with his work. She describes the forest teaching her what destruction her own family had done. The science arrived clothed in grief. — Jamal Awil, The Whispering Archive, 37
