This event is part of a discipline-hopping project funded by WREC on how different ways of engaging with natural environments influence people’s experiences, perceptions, and how they feel. Participants will take part in an interactive event involving listening, observation, response, and participation in environmental sound and nature-based activities. Following the activity, participants will be asked a few short questions about their experiences, feelings, and views on nature and the environment.
