Sounds of the Forest is an immersive soundmap project dedicated to capturing the aural tapestry of woodlands and forests from around the globe.

From the rustling of leaves to the melodies of birdsong and the gentle flow of streams, Sounds of the Forest offers an enchanting journey into the heart of nature's symphony. Whether you're exploring the New Forest in Southern England or any other woodland, this project encourages you to tune into the often-overlooked sounds that surround us, providing a unique and captivating experience for anyone eager to connect with the natural world.
