SwN Aftercare
Welcome back from the woods and thank you for joining us for your Nightingale adventure. As we shared on the night, this is a space for discovering more about how to continue your nature connection & nature protection journey. It’s a space of support and signposting in response to some of the questions, concerns and motivations that we hope have been provoked in you. Your well-being is as important to us as the well-being of the land we work with. By taking some simple actions, we can make a huge difference and also build a SWN community that can collectively be more powerful than the sum of our parts.
See below for our advice on protocols that can be easily adopted in your lives, ways you can help the SWN journey to be more impactful, and things to join in with throughout the year that you might find interesting. But firstly, if you haven’t already, we would love it if you could fill out our questionnaire and sign our guestbook!

SWN’S CALLs TO ACTION
Thank you for getting to this chapter of the journey. Reading this section means you care enough to want to make a difference.

Your input is essential here and we would love to have your thoughts on what we should be communicating. Continuing from what was shared around the fire, here are some starting actions we would encourage you to take that will support you to enjoy the nature around you and help improve the biodiversity of this land.

WIDENING our reach
Our mission extends beyond creating transformative experiences for those with the means to access them. We believe that deep nature connection isn't a luxury — it's essential for human wellbeing and the future of our planet.
We're working to grow a diverse and inclusive community of nature appreciators and defenders, reconnecting people with the support and wonder that the natural world provides. As you've experienced firsthand, you cannot love what you don't know, and you won't fight to protect what you don't love.
Many communities, particularly those in urban settings, people of colour, and those facing economic barriers, have significantly less access to these transformative experiences with nature.
Our 10-year path
At Singing with Nightingales, we're committed to rewilding diverse human hearts and minds through artistic co-creations with nature. Over the next decade, we will:
Expand our Nightingale events to reach new locations across the UK and Europe
Create innovative new artistic collaborations with the natural world
Develop more accessible formats of our existing events
Build partnerships with organisations serving underrepresented communities
Provide subsidised or free access where needed
Support artists in deepening their nature connection and bringing this into their creative work
Through these initiatives, we'll enable new communities to form intimate connections with the wild, inspiring perspectives and regenerative thinking that lead to positive action.
How you can help
We've just launched a special crowdfunding campaign to expand our reach to communities who face significant barriers to accessing these transformative nature experiences. As someone who's experienced the magic firsthand, you're in a unique position to understand the value of what we're offering. We'd love you to be among the first supporters of this initiative.
Over the next two years, your contribution will directly enable:
Free and subsidised tickets for those facing financial barriers
Transportation support to help people reach our woodland sites
Partnerships with organisations serving underrepresented communities
Pilot events designed for diverse audiences across the UK
Will you help others discover this same profound connection?
Even a small donation helps create more unforgettable nights of music and meaning. Let's keep the nightingale's song echoing far and wide.
sWN Conservation Days
In January and February, we head back to our Sussex site to do some brush clearance and coppicing work. This free-to-join day with lunch included involves lots of brush cutting and scalloping out overgrown areas making sure the Nightingale's habitat isn’t overgrowing, becoming too tall and ‘leggy’ and thus inhospitable to them when they return in April. This day is for SWN alumni or ticket holders only as we are limited to around 30 people. Information will be shared here and emailed when the next date is confirmed.
"Singing with Nightingales is an adventure you don’t imagine possible in this day and age. But it is possible, and fantastic. So you should all go!"
