I am reuniting with @georgevlad and @trexbeverly to raise money for environmental causes this holiday season. The three of us have a deep love of nature and actively work to conserve natural soundscapes through our field recording. Together, we have raised $13,000 over the years from our annual giveaway contest. We are each donating some of our recordings as a prize to encourage donations.
I am donating a custom selection of mastered bird, insect, mammal, and amphibian sounds and select soundscapes from the Pacific Northwest, Costa Rica, Alaska, Peru, and more selected from my personal library. These sounds are unavailable commercially and are normally packaged in custom libraries and sound design projects.
More than 45 bird species across 19 families, several species of cricket, katydid, ad cicada species, Rockies (Wapiti) and Olympic Elk, Douglas Pine Squirrels, Coyotes, Pacific Chorus Frogs, American Bullfrogs, Leopard Frogs, and more have been mastered and edited to best represent the individual species and reflect the variety of life found in their home territories in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. These valuable recordings are not immersive soundscapes but single-species sounds, ready to be dropped into your project with minimal preparation. Whenever possible, both processed and unprocessed versions of each species are included.
A select set of soundscapes from around the Pacific Northwest includes active and quiet sessions, dawn and dusk choruses, and may be stereo or quad depending on the situation.
All proceeds will go to benefit three different charities. My share will go to Conservation Northwest, www.conservationnw.org/, an organization with a mission to protect wildlands, connect habitats, and restore wildlife throughout the Pacific Northwest from the Washington Coast to the British Columbia Rockies.

please note: the following playlist is not fully representative of this year's reward as I just toss tracks on SoundCloud in a haphazard fashion as I feel like it. Names and select tracks may change in order to provide the best selection I can while also providing detailed metadata fully compatible with UCS 8.x. I'll update the playlist over the next week as more tracks are prepared. Happy listening and good luck!
