On 17 May I made my first trip to Alice Holt since February. Luigi has kindly been overseeing and undertaking battery changes for all our interventions in the meantime, but there were some modifications I wanted to make to the installation and setup ready for the summer.

On Wednesday 14th May 2025, we presented the Sensing the Forest project at students from Computer and Data Science and AI at UAL Creative Computing Institute in London.

After our group visit on 28 February 2025, I went for two more consecutive visits to the Alice Holt Forest on 14 March and 20 April. The main goal of these field trips was to collect the monthly recordings, replace the batteries, adjust the solar panels for the spring period, and shorten the distance between the RPi and the modem of Giorgio's streamer to make the streamer more sturdy.

In this tutorial, we introduce the design of a customised dendrometer sensor for our DIY tree talker.

Sensing the Forest at REVEIL 2025! We will join the network of live open microphones organised by contributing a stream from the Alice Holt Forest at daybreak on Saturday 3rd May (in the Western hemisphere) or Sunday 4th May (in the Eastern hemisphere). Tune in and be part of it!

It was a genuine pleasure to attend the summer school as both an audience - to enjoy the soundwalk at Alice Holt, and as someone behind the scenes - to observe and capture the making processes of the sound installations...

We went for a 17th visit to the Alice Holt Forest on 28 February 2025. The main goal of this field trip was to show the terrain to the QMUL MSc students Xinyue, Tug, Andres, and James to meet Luigi and experience the streamers and Pete's Dendrophone installation on site.

For my final year BSc project, I am conducting a series of interviews with artists who work with solar-powered solutions. Chris Meigh-Andrews is a British media artist and video historian who, since the 1990s, has been incorporating sustainable energy systems into his video and audio pieces.

We went for the 16th visit to the Alice Holt Forest on 15th February 2025. The main goal of this field trip was to replace the batteries for Dendrophone installation and Paula's streamer in the Willows Green Trail and install a newer high-end model for Giorgio's streamer.

We went for the 15th visit to the Alice Holt Forest on 31st January 2025. The main goal of this field trip was to replace batteries and change Paula's model (installation streamer) in the Willows Green Trail.

We are happy to welcome four MSc students from Queen Mary University of London who are joining the Sensing the Forest project and will work on related final projects.
