Forests Without Frontiers (FWF) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2019, dedicated to restoring and protecting nature across Europe and the UK for future generations. By harnessing the power of music and the arts, FWF operates guided by three core principles:

Restore

We work to regenerate and safeguard ecosystems.

Nurture

We honour and celebrate culture and community.

Inspire

We create music and art to spark connection and action.

All with the aim of bringing nature back to life and people back to nature.

Our unique approach of blending culture and creativity with conservation is what sets us apart from other organisations. We take an ecosystem-based approach that supports trees and forests, wildlife and people, music and art – all at once.

In partnership with local organisations and communities, we work in forests and other landscapes that need our help. These partnerships are critical to what we do, allowing local people to be directly involved in the regeneration of their landscapes, heritage and traditional wisdom.

Interbeing is a multi-media project which celebrates traditional music and the beauty of the landscape in Romania - a way of life and landscape that is under threat.

This project explores the relationship between the individual, community and the forest, combining old English folklore (including storytelling, poetry and songs) with electronic music and a canvas of forest soundscapes.

Following on from the success of Interbeing in Romania, we’re now partnering with Ivan Shopov and the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BPSB) to host a new artist residency in Bulgaria, supported by the Cambridge Conservation Initiative’s Endangered Landscapes and Seascapes Programme.

“I believe that nature restoration is everybody’s responsibility. We can’t keep taking from nature without giving back. As an artist, using music and arts seems a natural way to bring people together, spread the message, and empower creative action. I encourage you all to join us and be the voice of the forest.”

— Nicoleta Carpineanu, Founder of Forests Without Frontiers
