Sound artist Cheryl Beer, who we featured in Issue 13 of Life Seeker Newspaper for her work in bringing nature walks into care homes during lockdown, is launching her unique Can y Coed symphony at the National Botanic Garden of Wales this Summer.
Cheryl Beer has spent a year exploring Wales’s ancient rainforests, using specialist sound equipment to listen to the rhythms within the trees, ferns and moss. Converting these biorhythms into music, Cheryl has created a symphony that not only helps people connect with nature on a new level, but also highlights the importance of preserving these vital environments. You can even visit the trees that took part, and a Sound Walk will be installed at Coed Felenrhyd rainforest.
To find out more about the virtual launch and Can y Coed installations tours around the UK, visit the Song of the Trees web page or Cheryl’s Facebook page

If you’re out and about in Ceredigion this summer, keep your eyes peeled or you might just miss some secret messages hidden here and there around the county. A group called Ceredigion Rocks are encouraging people to leave decorative stones around the coast and countryside to add a little happiness to someone’s day. All you have to do is brighten up a rock with permanent pens or acrylic paint, write a cheery message on the back, give it a coat of something weatherproof and pop it in a favourite spot for someone to find.
Whenever you hide or find one of these little treasures, simply take a photo and share it on the Ceredigion Rocks Facebook page!

Head to the Foyer of the Cawdor Hall Building in the Town Centre to give it a go. Help will be available at special ‘staffed times’.
