At long last, the Naturespace catalog is becoming available on iTunes! As long as you have a wi-fi connection, you can download the entire Naturespace catalog directly into the iTunes section of your iPhone or iPod Touch. While most people know about Naturespace because of our iPhone apps, the Naturespace catalog is intended to be used on any iPod, and reside in your iTunes library. We have divided and bundled our catalog into seven albums, four of which are currently available, with the other three expected any day now. Each bundle contains 3 tracks that average 40 minutes worth of audio in total. In addition to those tracks, we provide Earbud Optimized versions as well, so six actual tracks, but 3 different pieces.

And for greater flexibility in choosing, you can also purchase tracks directly from our website’s online store.
Location Spotlight: St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, Florida
About a quarter-mile offshore, at the mouth of the Apalachicola River in the Gulf of Mexico, is a small, undeveloped barrier island, St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge. With many types of habitats, ranging from tidal marsh to freshwater lakes and streams, St. Vincent is a haven for many endangered species. Bald eagles, alligators, sea turtles, indigo snakes, colonies of bats, red wolves, and a vast compliment of migratory and tropical birds take up residence here.
With no motor vehicles allowed, and access to the island only by boat, St. Vincent is preserved in as natural a state as possible. Hunting is done in a managed way with the goal of maintaining wildlife populations at a level compatible with the habitat. Our visit to St. Vincent was a unique pleasure; the absence of motors always brings us joy, but it was the uniqueness of such a small island with so many diverse species and habitats that really stands out for us. The Naturespace track Infinite Shoreline was recorded here. Since it is at the mouth of the river, the waves strike the shore at a very oblique angle, which presents a waveline that cascades from right to left, as opposed to head-on. Totally unique, quiet, clean, diverse, and on the ocean; it is one of our favorite spots so far.
