Burning Seed is an annual festival in the Matong State Forest, an hour west of Wagga Wagga.  The festival is dedicated to creativity, collaboration, and ecological sustainability, and encourages community participation and culture to dynamically coexist.

The event also prides itself on ‘a radical framework of self reliance’, meaning that participants must provide their own food, water, adequate shelter and clothing at the festival!

Nick Westcott talked to Jess about how the festival came about.
