- The Peace of Nature: Our Forest Connection
- From
- Kevin Boucher
Our acoustic environment is more and more becoming overloaded with the sounds of human progress. While our technological progress does have many positives, it does put us on "acoustic overload" sometimes. For this reason, many people periodically get away from it all by going to the woods, forests or any natural place. This piece is composed of interviews conducted in the field with hikers, biologists, conservation workers and others who simply love being with nature. This piece contains interviews with people expressing their favorite aspects of spending time with nature. Along the way, we get the sense that, this need to re-connect with nature is probably a very deep part of our DNA.
