Experience the power of sound and story at this one-off live event at the Royal Geographical Society. The evening will open with a new soundscape by musician and sound artist Alice Boyd. Featuring her field recordings from across the UK - from coastal waves and calling toads, to the vibrant dawn chorus - the piece invites the audience into an immersive listening moment celebrating the sensory richness of the natural world.

Following the soundscape, explorer and author Levison Wood will lead a live panel discussion on the profound influence of forests on human history, adventure, and our planet’s future. He’ll be joined by a panel of leading voices in rewilding and exploration, including Bruce Parry, Lucy Shepherd, Lord Zac Goldsmith, and Dr Rosa Vásquez Espinoza, for a thought-provoking conversation about nature, hope, and the future we can still shape.

Every ticket includes a signed copy of Levison Wood’s new book, The Great Tree Story (RRP £25), plus the chance to win exclusive prizes from brands including Scientific Exploration Society, Shackleton, Tentsile, Iron Raft, and Journeys With Purpose.
