Songscape: Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge with Ben Sollee - Slackwater

Ben Sollee's "Slackwater" is inspired by one of the country's most pristine estuary habitats. Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge is part of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's 500+ National Wildlife Refuges. Sollee was particularly moved by the impacts climate change is already having on the refuge, and the role the refuge plays in protecting people from hurricanes and rising sea levels.
Sollee created this song as part of Sustain Music and Nature's Songscape program. Songscapes pair bands with public land areas to create new music and new supporters for public lands.
Purchase the song online to support the refuge, Sustain, and Sollee.

Living close to Great Bay Blvd. with Rutgers Field Station at its end; volunteering at The Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen's Museum, on Tuckerton Creek, that runs alongside the boulevard, out to Great Bay; sharing pot luck and memorable music at Folk Across the Street's unique local venue--and now, listening to this eloquent tribute to a protected portion of an estuarine environment becoming more valuable as "progress" encroaches, has put a glow around an otherwise gray day. Thanks to all who had anything and everything to do with this.
