Forest sound effects from woods all over the world. Birds at dawn in remote woodland, wolves and bears in the mountains, crickets and cicadas on a warm night, rain dripping through the canopy and wind moving the treetops. Then the closer stuff: footsteps on leaves and twigs, a campfire crackling in a clearing, and fantasy forests for games. Rarely quiet.

A forest changes a lot through the day. Birds take over at dawn and things go quiet in the afternoon heat. At night it belongs to insects and owls, and the odd crack of a branch. Long recordings let that play out under a scene without looping, and the wildlife libraries give you the animals separately for when a creature needs to step forward. Underfoot, the forest footstep sets cover walking and sneaking over leaves and twigs. Mix in Wind or Rain to change the weather, or a River for somewhere to camp. Survival games and nature documentaries use plenty of it.
