Backstory:
Wooden Conservation was formed in the early 2000s by a group of five friends who shared a passion for music and environmental advocacy. The band’s members – lead vocalist and guitarist Alex Stone, drummer Tim Riley, bassist Mike Dawson, keyboardist Lisa Smith, and violinist Sarah Green – all met while working for a non-profit organization committed to forest preservation. Wanting to raise awareness about the importance of conserving our natural environment and merge their love for music and Mother Earth, they formed Wooden Conservation, a band with a mission.
Influenced by their shared love for the folk music of the 60s and 70s, Wooden Conservation uses their music to share their environmental messages. They quickly gained a following among eco-conscious listeners, and their music has even become a common sound at various environmental rallies and events. Their lyrics often weave tales of untouched forests, endangered species, and a call to action for preserving natural habitats.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Stand among the [C] trees, feel the [G] wind whisper [C]
[G] Hear the stories [C] that the old [G] Earth has to [C] tell
[D] Echoes of the [G] forest, [C] secrets of the [G] soil
[D] Nature’s melody, [C] singing of its [G] toil
(Chorus)
[C] Echoes of the [G] forest, [C] voices of the [G] trees
[C] Let’s not mute these [G] voices, [C] don’t let them [D] cease
[G] Stand up for the [C] wild, [G] let your voices [C] ring
[G] For the beauty [C] of this [G] land, let’s [D] sing
(Verse 2)
[G] Streams that gently [C] trickle, [G] mountains standing [C] tall
[G] Carry the message [C] that the Earth [G] tells us [C] all
[D] Echoes of the [G] forest, [C] reflections in the [G] lake
[D] Reminding us, [C] what’s at [G] stake
(Chorus)
[C] Echoes of the [G] forest, [C] voices of the [G] trees
[C] Let’s not mute these [G] voices, [C] don’t let them [D] cease
[G] Stand up for the [C] wild, [G] let your voices [C] ring
[G] For the beauty [C] of this [G] land, let’s [D] sing
(Outro)
[G] Echoes of the [C] forest, [G] singing till the [C] end
[G] For a greener [C] tomorrow, [G] let’s [D] defend
[G] Echoes of the [C] forest, [G] this is our [C] plea
[G] Let’s keep these [C] voices [G] free.
