Take an aural woodsy walk to explore the underground networks of plant roots and fungi that facilitate forest communication and resource sharing. We'll check out the Sounds of the Forest interactive map and listen to woodlands around the world. Learn about ultrasonic listening devices that detect thirsty trees and listen to sound art made from tree growth rings. Featured artists include Bartholomas Traubec and Jean Sibelius, and the featured scientist is forest ecologist Suzanne Simard.

Echolocation explores aspects of environmental art, especially the use of bioacoustics in sound art and musical composition. The show dwells at the junction between art, science and natural sound, and features works by artists working in the fields of soundscape studies, deep listening and acoustic ecology. Featured composers include R. Murray Schaffer, Doug Quin, Lisa Walker, Hildegard Westerkamp, Pauline Oliveros, and others. Each quarterly program includes news and updates from fields related to scientific and artistic studies of environmental sound. Submissions of locally recorded and produced pieces are encouraged. https://www.facebook.com/EcholocationWGXC. This episode: Talking Trees.
