PROJECT UPDATES
A Global Symphony for the Earth & Collaborative Citizen Music-Science Festival for Earth Day 2026
TREE is proud to partner with PlantWave, a device that detects the sonoscape of the plant world. Student volunteers are listening to plants, asking questions about plant-communication, and we will be co-hosting an Earth Day event for getting citizens into their gardens to “hear” plants. Stay tuned for more information!
