Zoopcamp at Tump 39
Join Three Rivers for two days of shared listening and broadcasting at Tump 39 on 2 and 3 May - a rewilded former Victorian munitions depot hidden in a Thamesmead housing estate and the UK's first Zoöp! Let your senses recalibrate to the hum of grass and insects, wind currents, birdsong, and the low murmur of urban edges returning to soil, because sometimes the most interesting sounds are underground.
