🎶 In Kingley Vale’s ancient yew forest, we joined New Note Orchestra, the UK’s only recovery orchestra, for music shaped by recovery, resilience & connection. As part of our Enchanting Forest project. 🌳✨ #EnchantingForest #MusicInNature

In Bulgaria’s Rhodope Mountains, Wings Over Mountains blends music & storytelling to connect people with place & protect endangered landscapes. “Conservation is not just about saving species, but listening to the songs of places & people on the brink,” says BSPB’s Elitsa Ivanova

🌳 For our Enchanting Forest album, we spent 24 hours in Sussex’s ancient Ebernoe woodland with Prof. Alice Eldridge — recording everything from dusk birdsong to the underwater sounds of roots & bark. Nature is the canvas.

🎶 In Bulgaria’s Rhodope Mountains, we recorded village choirs whose voices carry the soul of a place at risk of being forgotten. “These choirs are like endangered species,” says co-producer Ivan Shopov. “ Their culture could vanish before the nature around them.”

Saving the Imperial Eagle — one nest at a time. With fewer than 30 pairs left in Bulgaria, every nest counts. That’s why our partners at BSPB are installing manmade nests to help these endangered birds recover. Urgent, hands-on conservation in action.

🌿 New BBC research shows animals respond to plant sounds. Moths avoided laying eggs on stressed tomato plants — not by sight, but by sound. In #EnchantingForest, we’re tuning into these hidden soundscapes. 🎧 tinyurl.com/4d2smnjf

Alongside our recent Tree Tending Day at Wilderlands, we filmed a special moment for the Enchanting Forest project — an immersive performance by the water’s edge with Nuala Nova (violin) and Florencia Leoni (movement), in handmade masks by John Moore. #EnchantingForest

Last week we were in the awe-inspiring Kingley Vale, home to some of Britain’s oldest Yew trees, recording and filming with the brilliant @newnoteorc for our Enchanting Forest project. Huge thanks to @NaturalEngland, who manage the site.
