A Million Small Acts: Exploring the Forest of Imagination Nature Realm
We are excited to announce the creation of a new Nature Realm for the Forest of Imagination 2024! This year’s theme, “Biodiversity: Ring a Million Small Acts,” perfectly aligns with our mission to connect people to nature through playful exploration and community-led engagement with the natural world.
About Forest of Imagination 2024
The Forest of Imagination festival is a celebration of creativity, nature, and community, held annually in Bath, UK. This year, the festival’s theme highlights the importance of biodiversity and the impact of small, collective actions. With interactive installations, workshops, and performances, the festival encourages participants of all ages to engage with the natural world in meaningful ways.
Introducing the Forest of Imagination Nature Realm
To enhance the festival experience, we have established a Nature Realm at the site of this year’s festivities in Bath. This digital representation captures the collective knowledge and biodiversity of the area, offering festival goers a unique way to explore and contribute to the bioculture of the ecosystem.
Already, before the festival has even kicked off, the Forest of Imagination Nature Realm boasts:
- 178 Sightings of
- 126 Species by
- 55 People.
How to Get Involved
Play the Spirits of the Realms Game The simplest way for festival goers to get involved is by playing the Spirits of the Realms mobile game within the Nature Realm. This immersive game encourages players to explore the documented biodiversity, add their own species sightings, and develop skills in identifying past sightings. Along the way, players will meet nature spirits inspired by past players’ discoveries.

Add Your Stories and Identifications Festival participants can also contribute by using the “Add Your” button on the Forest of Imagination 2024 Nature Realm’s webpage to share stories related to the land, life, or festival. Additionally, participants can help identify species found by others by sharing their nature expertise through the Oracle of Life — bioexpertise.org.
Why It Matters
By participating in the Forest of Imagination Nature Realm, festival goers become part of a larger community effort to connect with, document and preserve biodiversity. Each sighting, story, and identification contributes to a richer understanding of the local ecosystem and fosters a deeper connection to the natural world. Your story of connection with nature is but one thread in a collective tapestry.
