Simon, Richard and Patrick of the band L.Y.R. joined us in a patch of temperate rainforest in Dartmoor to perform songs inspired by UK nature🌳

For their new album, Dark Sky Reservation, the band explores how nature can shield and sustain us in a hectic, disconnected world 🍃
Music to our ears! 🎧

Besides inspiring musicians and artists, time spent among trees can reduce anxiety and depression, and even speed up recovery from injury 💚
💻 Watch the full performance by L.Y.R. on our YouTube channel.
