”We often forget that WE ARE NATURE.Nature is not something separate from us. So,

when we say that we have lost our connection to nature,we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.“

Andy Goldsworthy.

Friday 30th August - Sunday 1st September

music, art & natural science

The InceptionBetween The Trees is the vision of Andrew Thomas and Dawn Wood. ‘As educators, we felt that one of the most important factors in improving the health and well-being of the people we taught and their families, was the need to reconnect with nature. This festival is a part of our vision. We have a passion to educate and inspire people to explore their natural surroundings and to do everything possible to conserve the environ-ment, life and its natural habitats. This quote sums up the challenges that we all face regarding the adverse human impact on the climate as well as other worldwide issues:

“I used to think that top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss,ecosystem collapse, and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems, but I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation. And we scientists don’t know how to do that.” - Gus Speth

The 2019 Sunday Debate: A Planet in Crisis:New strategies or do we need a spiritual and cultural transformation?

Lauren is a marine conservationist based on the Gower peninsu-lar. Lauren has over 10 years experience, working in one of the marine sciences growth areas - the impact of plastic pollution and beach litter on our oceans and coasts. She currently leads a citizen science marine project involving thousands of people, inspiring them to understand one of the biggest environmental threats facing the planet today - plastic.

Lauren has appeared on Blue Planet UK, BBC Coast, Blue Peter, Newsround, Springwatch, BBC Breakfast and Countryfile—talking confidently about the impacts of plastic pollution on wildlife and people, mass stranding of starfish and sea temperatures effects on White Beaked dolphin distribution off the Dorset coastline.

We have a ”Quiet at night“ policy to respect the forest environment,its creatures and our fellow festival-goers.

Therefore there will be no amplified music or excessive noise after 12 midnight.

Special features at Between The Trees 2019

FILM ”TAWAi“ - A voice from the forest.

Tawai is a word the nomadic hunter gatherers of Borneo use to describe the connection they feel to their forest home. In this dreamy, philosophical and

sociological look at life, Bruce Parry embarks on an immersive odyssey to explore the different ways that humans relate to nature and how this influences the way we create our societies. Tawai is a quest for reconnection, providing a

powerful voice from the heart of the forest itself.
