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 New Note Orchestra for our Enchanting Forest project. Huge thanks to Natural England, who manage the site.

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

🌿 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

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.

🎶 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.”

🌳 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, 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

🎶 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
