Electric Forest 2015: The Magic Is Alive And Well

Electric Forest 2015 has come to a close, and once again, it's proven itself to be one of the best festival experiences in the country. Many voiced concerns regarding the integrity of the festival after tickets dried up in record time after the release of this year's earth shattering lineup.

Insomniac’s hand in Electric Forest’s development has been relatively understated, but this year the force behind Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) was readily apparent in the formation of the Timber Scouts.

Anyone who’s attended an Insomniac event such as EDC or Nocturnal Wonderland knows about the purple clad Ground Control, their proactive organization to ensure a safe and fun event for all attendees. Rather than bring Ground Control into Rothbury though, the organizers developed an entirely new organization which fits beautifully into the wonderment of the woods.

Sporting neon green shirts and socks, the Timber Scouts roved around the festival grounds all weekend ensuring the safety and happiness of all its inhabitants. Numerous times I saw these folks hanging out with solo foresters, helping out those who may have drank a bit much, and simply keeping the vibes alive.

The Timber Scouts were also a part of keeping this year’s designated hammock zones in check, as the repetitive wear of years past has damaged the trees. The scouts weren’t aiming to bust anyone with drugs or cause any inconvenience, they merely acted as another measure to preserve the beautiful atmosphere. We definitely hope to see them back next year for more high fives and good vibes.
