Nature Center by Wyoming Toad

ambient • lo-fi • soundscape

Our own local Wyoming Toad offers an encouragement to enjoy our ecological preservations with the rich and gratifying sounds of "Nature Center." His retro synth compositions swell forth from a background of original field recordings captured from trails and woodlands of the Cincinnati Nature Center. J-card complete with a pocket-sized scavenger hunt to enrich future treks through your local parks.

Spring field recordings from the Cincinnati Nature Center set to ambient music. The song titles refer to the Rowe Woods trails where the nature sounds were recorded. (“Discovery” recordings are from the PlayScape, which is within the Mashburn Family Discovery Trail.)
