One Square Inch of Silence, Environmental project in Olympic National Park, US
The One Square Inch of Silence project occupies a specific location in the Hoh Rain Forest, marked by a red stone on a moss-covered log.
The project was established on Earth Day 2005 to protect and manage the natural soundscape within Olympic National Park's backcountry wilderness environment.
The initiative promotes the preservation of natural sounds by identifying and documenting the effects of human-generated noise on wilderness environments.
Visitors can reach the location after a two-hour walk from the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center, following the trail through ancient trees.
The project works on the principle that protecting one square inch from noise pollution creates a positive effect across many square miles.
