Earthsong
Earthsong is a ‘living installation’ of human singers and willow critters, turning up in wild places across the north of the UK, from wildflower meadows, lakes, rivers and mountains to the Solfest music festival, and more!
The project was initiated in summer 2022 with the help of Arts Council England funding, and is available for outdoor events to raise awareness about the symbiotic relationship between humans and the natural world, in accordance with the principles of the One Health movement, which suggests that human health, animal health and planetary health are inextricably entangled.
