  • - Here we are in the Hoh Valley Rainforest.

  • This is a cathedral, my cathedral.

  • In this forest is the quietest place

  • in the entire United States,

  • and it's only one square inch in size.

  • My mission is to keep it that way.

  • I'm Gordon Hempton.

  • I'm a sound tracker.

  • I travel the globe in search of vanishing sounds,

  • including the most endangered of all,

  • which is simply silence.

  • Noise pollution is nearly inescapable.

  • The Hoh Valley is the quietest,

  • least noise-polluted place in the entire lower 48.

  • I don't know if I can save silence,

  • but I know that I can try.

  • So it was 12 years ago, 2005 Earth Day,

  • that I hiked up the Hoh River Valley.

  • It took three miles just to escape

  • the noise of the parking lot.

  • That's when I was looking in every direction

  • for which way I should go.

  • I saw the elk trail, love to follow their advice

  • because they love quiet just like I do;

  • and they led me right to the spot.

  • It's just through that tree, then off into the woods.

  • I defend this one square inch of silence

  • by doing both quiet and noise monitoring.

  • When a noise intrusion occurs,

  • I locate the noise maker,

  • send them a letter, and ask for compliance.

  • This matter is urgent.

  • Within ten years, it's likely that there will be

  • no quiet places left unless we take action.

  • When I first started, I did not think

  • silence would go extinct in my lifetime;

  • and if that happens, the quiet will disappear

  • and the wildlife will be devastated.

  • The One Square Inch of Silence foundation

  • is pressing our politicians to pass a single piece

  • of legislation that will designate Olympic National Park

  • as the world's first quiet park, off-limits to aircraft.

  • All things are possible.

  • The Earth is here and it's beautiful;

  • and, for me, it all starts here in the Hoh Valley.

- Here we are in the Hoh Valley Rainforest.
