Found Sound for September: Matt Somerville

This September, Alice visits wild honey bee conservationist and carpenter Matt Somerville in his cottage in Hampshire. His work champions a bee-centred approach to conservation, placing the wellbeing of wild colonies above honey production. Together they explore Matt's practice of creating log hives that mimic bees’ natural habitats, and go on the hunt for wild bees... 'Found Sounds' are released on the middle Friday of the month. This year, Alice is travelling across the UK to meet people inspired by heritage crafts, folklore and the landscape, creating a sonic scrapbook of their practice. 'As the Season Turns' is a podcast created by Ffern in collaboration with Lia Leendertz. Each episode, released on the first of the month, is a guide to what to look out for in the month ahead - from the sky above to the land below. Found Sounds are released on the middle Friday of the month. Ffern is an organic fragrance maker based in Somerset. You can learn more about Ffern's seasonal eau de parfum at ffern.co
