New Forest Listening Rooms Video - Wildcat Hollow

November 25, 2019

I’m pleased to share another video in the Forest Listening Rooms series. This time, I visit a group of local children for a sound walk, listening sessions, and discussion at Wildcat Hollow in the Wayne National Forest, Ohio, adjacent to the active Buckingham Coal Mines. They take a soundwalk together, and gather at a group of fallen mossy trees. They listen in silence together (no small feat), and immediately talk of what they heard: branches and birds, wind and voices, airplanes and industry. They then listen to music and archival recordings of children of past generations talking of mining. They finally tell their own stories, of their discoveries in the forest.
