About this episode
This episode features soothing sounds of light rain and forest drips recorded in the Cranberry Glades Botanical Area.
Light Rain and Forest Drip, 31 May 2021, around 3am, Cranberry Glades Botanical Area near Raintown, West Virginia. © Lang Elliott Recorded in the wee hours of morning along a swampy section of the boardwalk at Cranberry Glades Botanical Area high in the mountains of West Virginia. Raindrops and drips from trees splat against the broad leaves of skunk cabbage. Listen also for periodic spring peepers, distant barred owls, and the barely audible throaty gunks of green frogs in the background. To my ear, this is a wonderful relaxation track. Please set volume on the low side so that the splats of raindrops and drips are not too loud.
