On 17 September 2024, we went on a field trip to change batteries and 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).

On 2 December 2024, Luigi Marino presented the work on the streamers at the CHIME Annual One-day Music and HCI Conference 2024, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK.

We had our third Advisory Board meeting where we presented the development and status of the project to the Advisory Board and sought their valuable feedback.

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 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.
