We are delighted to announce a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to support our forthcoming project in the Forest of Dean, The Secret Sounds of Trees.
The Secret Sounds of Trees is a new audio-visual experience that invites audiences into the forest to explore the inner world of the trees at Beechenhurst, Forest of Dean. An atmospheric soundscape, feathered, pink botanic, by acclaimed artists Jez riley French and Lau Nau will immerse audiences in a hidden world, revealing microscopic vibrations and sounds inaudible to the human ear.
Made possible by money raised by National Lottery players, the funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund will enable us to deliver activities that help a wider range of local people reap the positive benefits of their local national heritage. This includes local young people at risk and with long term health conditions, adults with learning difficulties and those suffering from dementia.
We are working in partnership with local organisations Cinderford Artspace and Wilde Earth Journeys to provide these opportunities to engage with the installation and to connect with nature at Beechenhurst. We look forward to sharing full details in the coming weeks.
Alongside this grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, The Secret Sounds of Trees is also gratefully funded by Arts Council England and PRS Foundation.
The Secret Sounds of Trees is a free, timed entry installation from twilight through the evening.
