The literal and metaphorical arrival of spring is imminent. It is time to think about what will plant during this ripe time.Hug...

For outdoor enthusiasts, Olympic National Park offers a smorgasbord of ecosystems: rocky peaks, driftwood-strewn beaches and high-mountain meadows filled with wildflowers and bears. But its rain-fed temperate rain forests host some of the biggest trees in the world.

地球事就是家務事3. 陽明山都會寧靜公園｜一顆石頭的上方https://e-info.org.tw/node/224971
台北的聲音是什麼？是摩托車呼嘯而過的聲音、捷運關門警示音、還是交談的人聲？就在世界環境日的今天，陽明山國家公園領先全球50個等待認證的潛力點，成為世界首座「都會寧靜公園」，將帶領都會區的人們，一起體驗寧靜。
今（6/5）日上午國際寧靜公園組織（Quiet Parks International, QPI）認證委員范欽慧授予陽明山國家公園認證狀，並與與會來賓實際走訪陽明山第一個寂靜山徑——夢幻湖步道。QPI總裁喬罕（Vikram Chauhan）、秘書長漢普頓（Gordon Hempton）等人均透過連線表達恭賀。
更容易親近 陽明山為首座都會寧靜公園
陽明山人多、車多，哪來的「寧靜」？台灣聲景協會理事長范欽慧指出，真正的寧靜是靜下心來就可以聽得見。2018年漢普頓應邀來台時，他不僅聽到了陽明山的聲音，更聽到陽明山與這片土地的關聯、以及多年來大家希望保護這片寧靜的心願。這兩個聲音促成陽明山國家公園成為全球第一「都會寧靜公園」。
漢普頓是世界知名錄音師、也是「一平方英吋的寂靜」( One Square Inch of Silence）的作者。2018年他在陽明山國家公園帶領民眾進行「聆聽寂靜工作坊」。隔年與喬罕共同成立國際寧靜公園組織。
漢普頓透過視訊表達祝賀，他表示，QPI希望保護寧靜，用最自然的方式來傾聽。陽明山國家公園之所以能成為世界第一，是因為台灣的文化很重視寧靜。加上台灣聲景協會志工的投入、長期的研究、政府與國家公園的努力，大家共同促成。
漢普頓也表示，全世界2／3的人口住在都會區，都會寧靜公園讓人們更容易親近自然、並教育下一代也能了解寧靜的意義。
夢幻湖起點 聽見台北的聲音
第一條屬於陽明山國家公園的「寂靜山徑」就是夢幻湖步道。陽明山國家公園管理處處長劉培東說明，步道長達1.5公里，大家隨時可以進去，上面有規劃一些標示牌、也會有志工協助，讓大家享受寧靜。不會規劃人數管制，如果大家都用寧靜的心態去感受，人數不會是問題。
除了入口標示、與一兩個較大的告示牌，「寂靜山徑」絕大多數的標示都是利用現有告示的側邊、高度也很低。走過不斷上坡的小徑，就會到達夢幻湖畔，風吹過樹稍、加上池畔蛙鳴，這裡的聲音更多元。
亞東醫院生態心理醫師陳俊霖說，現代人的思緒充滿很多聲音，如果平常就能靜下來片刻，對健康很有幫助，我們需要身邊可以運用的安靜時空。現代人習慣吵雜，有時反而害怕寧靜。希望大家能在此適應寧靜、享受寧靜。
劉培東表示，現在也在著手規劃二子坪的寂靜山徑，這裡非常特別，希望大家可以用五感去體驗陽明山，但是把聲音關起來。
范欽慧邀請大家先來走步道、之後則會規劃一些社會大眾的體驗課程、或結合學生的戶外教育課程。他希望以後大家被問到「什麼是台北市的聲音」時，不會只想到摩托車聲，會想到台北樹蛙、暮蟬、陽明山牧場，未來台北的聲音就在夢幻湖畔。

BirdNote PresentsSound Escapes: Our Solar-Powered JukeboxIn the season finale of Sound Escapes, acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton takes us on a whirlwind tour of nearly every habitat on the planet. From tropical forests to deserts to wetlands, you'll hear what the Earth truly is: music spinning in an otherwise silent space. Thank you for joining us on this sonic journey. We hope each episode brought you a sense of peace during these troubled times, and that you have tapped into your natural ability to listen deeply. And now, let’s listen to the music of the Earth.
2020-07-0100 minBirdNote PresentsSound Escapes: Mark Twain's Limpid Brook“By modern standards, Mark Twain was really a switched-on listener,” says our Sound Escapes host, Gordon Hempton. “He brilliantly used sound in the crafting of his novels. Birds would sing at the right time of day and in the right situations. He would use thunderstorms to mark the locations of Jim and Huck's journey down the Mississippi.” In this episode of Sound Escapes, we’ll explore what made Mark Twain such an astute listener. Gordon was particularly inspired by a passage in Twain’s autobiography, in which he describes "a limpid brook" on his Uncle Quarles’ farm near the town of...

In this episode of Sound Escapes, paddle a canoe through Voyageurs National Park alongside Gordon Hempton, the Sound Tracker. We'll hear the hauntingly beautiful duet of a pair of Common Loons — and learn why Gordon refers to cold water lakes as “magic amphitheaters.” Let’s listen…

The writings of John Muir can guide our ears, as we listen to the water music: “The deep bass tones of the fall, the clashing ringing spray an infinite variety of small, low tones of the current gliding past the side of the Boulder Island and glinting against a thousand smaller stones down the Ferny channel.” In this episode of Sound Escapes, walk in...

Zabalo was certified as the world's first wilderness quiet park on Earth Day in 2019. Gordon calls this place a living Eden. "And when we listen there, we listen for miles. Not city blocks. We listen for miles." Whether you're sheltering in place or taking a break from your duties as an essential worker, we hope this episode brings you peace and a brief escape from the COVID-19 pa...

Support for Sound Escapes comes from Jim and Birte Falconer of Seattle.

Around the world people have reported hearing an increase in the songs of birds, the chirping of insects, and the myriad sounds of non-human life. A newfound silence is pervading many of our environments as cars, planes, and industries have increasingly been brought to a standstill.A...

Curious Minds at WorkCM 155: Jenny Odell on How to Do NothingAs we increasingly equate human worth with productivity, what does it mean to do nothing?
That's the question Jenny Odell explores in her book, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy. In it, she deftly draws on the work of artists, laborers, and writers, past and present, to discuss how others have grappled with this question.
In attempting to clarify what she means by doing nothing, Jenny asks, "What's the difference between being allowed to be open...observant...reflective versus...constantly express[ing]...one's rage and anger...what if there's a part of you that deserves to remain unspoken...

Music & PeacebuildingMusicking Ecological Care and RootednessIn this podcast we explore the beautiful, creative, and challenging work of Dan Shevock's Eco-literate music pedagogy. His notions of the local and rootedness challenge teachers to live into a sense of being in relationship to our locality. A profound scholar and poet, Shevock weaves together strands of philosophy, theology, poetry, music, and science to imagine the radical interconnectedness of an ecology of being. Our discussion speaks to meditative presence, being rather than having, and the balance of conservation and liberation. Interwoven with our conversations are Dan Shevock's poems, whale songs, soundscapes of the National Park Service, and the...

He’s recorded inside Sitka spruce logs in the Pacific Northwest, thunder in the Kalahari Desert, and dawn breaking across six continents. An attentive listener, he says silence is an endangered species on the verge of extinction. He defines real quiet as presence — not an absence of sound but an absence of noise. We take in the world through his ears.

LongformEpisode 352: Jenny OdellJenny Odell is a multidisciplinary artist and the author of How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy.
“I’ve noticed that the times I’m extra susceptible to being on social media is when I am feeling personally insecure or when I’m dealing with existential dread. That within itself is not part of the attention economy—that’s just a human being having feelings and reacting to things. For me, it’s a question of like, ‘What do I do with that?’ I can either feed it back into the attention economy and actually get more of it back—more anxiety...
2019-07-241h 00BirdNote PresentsSound Escapes: Cold Lake AmphitheaterA great place to listen to insects — and birds — is a remote mountain lake in the spring. The surrounding mountians and properties of the cold water make these lakes some of nature's great concert halls. Gordon Hempton, an acoustic ecologist and sonic guide for the this series, recorded the sounds of this lake in Washington’s Methow Valley. The air is so clear of noise you’ll actually be able to hear the tiny splashes of lake trout gobbling up insects from just below the surface. Now let's sit back, relax, and listen the natural concert.
