Simard’s book, fully titled Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest, was published today by Knopf and was quickly acquired by Adams’ Bond Group Entertainment and Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories.
The adaptation will be produced by Adams and Stacy O’Neil for Bond Group Entertainment, along with Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker for Nine Stories.
“Finding the Mother Tree is a rare and moving book—part charming memoir, part crash course in forest ecology.
