Celebrating 10 years! / Nous fêtons nos 10 ans !
Wetland Project invite les stations de radio du monde entier à participer à la 10e édition annuelle de la diffusion « slow radio » à l’occasion de la Journée internationale de la Terre (mercredi 22 avril 2026)
Depuis son lancement sur Vancouver Co-op Radio en 2017, l’écoute du paysage sonore de 24 heures provenant du marais ṮEḴTEḴSEN sur le territoire W̱SÁNEĆ (île de Saturna, Colombie-Britannique, Canada) est devenue une tradition de la Journée de la Terre, diffusée sur 57 stations de radio et via Internet dans plus de 50 pays.
Remplissez les ondes des sons des oiseaux, des grenouilles, des insectes et des avions. Cette émission, créée par les artistes Brady Marks et Mark Timmings, interagit avec son public en temps réel, favorisant un renouveau profond du lien avec l’environnement vivant. Alors que le monde traverse une période aussi tumultueuse, la « slow radio » offre un répit qui célèbre la vie et invite à réfléchir à un avenir plus lucide et plus bienveillant.
CETTE ANNÉE, POUR CÉLÉBRER LE 10E ANNIVERSAIRE, LES STATIONS DE RADIO PARTICIPANTES SONT ENCOURAGÉES À INTÉGRER LEURS PROPRES ENREGISTREMENTS SUR LE TERRAIN EN PARALLÈLE AU PROJET WETLAND.
Les fichiers de diffusion — que vous choisissiez de diffuser le cycle complet de 24 heures ou seulement quelques heures — sont disponibles en contactant info@wetlandproject.com.
Wetland Project invites radio stations around the planet to participate in the 10th annual “slow radio” broadcast on International Earth Day (Wednesday, April 22, 2026)
Since its inauguration on Vancouver Co-op Radio in 2017, listening to the 24‑hour soundscape from the ṮEḴTEḴSEN marsh in W̱SÁNEĆ territory (Saturna Island, British Columbia, Canada) has grown into an Earth Day tradition heard on 57 radio stations and via the web in over 50 countries.
Fill the airwaves with the sounds of birds, frogs, insects and airplanes. The broadcast, created by artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings, engages its audience in real time, promoting a powerful re‑engagement with the living environment. As the world spins through such turbulent times, “slow radio” offers a life-affirming respite to reflect upon a more lucid and caring future.
THIS YEAR, TO CELEBRATE THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY, PARTICIPATING RADIO STATIONS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INCLUDE THEIR OWN LOCAL FIELD RECORDINGS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WETLAND PROJECT.
The broadcast files—whether you choose to air the full 24-hour cycle or just a few hours—are available by contacting info@wetlandproject.com

“Wetland Project is a beautiful, quietly amazing work of micro-post-geographical art that allows us to be wherever we are and somewhere wonderfully natural and real, simultaneously. It’s an experience I wish everyone could have, and I wish there were more experiences like it.” —William Gibson
