Our research spans the Mother Tree Project — the long-term experiments that uncovered how forests are connected — and the Mother Tree Program, which builds on this foundation through Indigenous-led stewardship and collaborative initiatives.

 

Mother Tree Project

The Mother Tree Project investigates how forest management practices affect regeneration, biodiversity, and resilience under climate change. Through long-term experiments across British Columbia, it studies how connected forest networks sustain the next generation of forests and the ecosystems they support.

Mother Tree Program

The Mother Tree Program builds on the Project’s foundation to explore forest relationships beyond the original experimental sites. Through new collaborations and studies, it examines how soils, climate, and shared networks influence biodiversity and resilience across diverse forest systems.
