We met for the second day of our 2-day Sensing the Forest hackathon at the Forest Research Northern Research Station in Edinburgh to develop a new prototype, a DIY tree talker.

We met for the first day of our 2-day Sensing the Forest hackathon at the Forest Research Northern Research Station in Edinburgh to develop a new prototype, a DIY tree talker.

We are happy to welcome three third-year undergraduate students from Queen Mary University of London who are joining the Sensing the Forest project and will work on related final projects.

Luigi Marino and I presented the Sensing the Forest project at the Master in Acoustics and Musicology, Aix-Marseille University.

We went for an eleventh visit to the Alice Holt Forest. The main goal of this field trip was to debug the EcoFLow solar panel, do a general maintenance check of Streamers I and II, and make a few more recordings of the two sites (natural soundscape and modified soundscape).

We went for a tenth visit to the Alice Holt Forest, divided into two parts. In the first part, Pete installed two more solar panels to achieve an installation fully independent using four solar panels. In the second part, I went back again to check that the two streamers and Pete's installation were working as expected focusing on getting to know more about the EcoFlow unit.

We went for a ninth visit to the Alice Holt Forest, divided into two parts. In the first part, Luigi installed Streamer I Giorgio in the new setting and reset Streamer II Paula. In the second part, I checked that the two streamers and Pete's installation were working as expected.

We went for an eight visit to the Alice Holt Forest to update Pete's installation and Streamer II Paula in Willows Green as part of the one-year artistic intervention.

We went for a seventh visit to the Alice Holt Forest to find an bioacoustically-relevant location for Streamer I Giorgio.

After the six online sessions of the summer school, we all met at Alice Holt for two days on 19-20 June to prepare and launch the exhibition on the 20th! It was short and intense. It felt extremely rewarding. The exhibition was a big success.

We went for a sixth visit to the Alice Holt Forest to take some measurements for Pete's installation and allocate suitable spots for the installations to be showcased on the 20th of June.

We had our sixth and last Summer School meeting before our onsite gathering on 19-20 June, where the summer school participants presented their initial prototypes and received feedback.
