It’s best to keep the watchful eye close to the tree line, not on the canopy, and use sensors that blend in with the bark. A low‑power network that wakes only when motion or a change in humidity is detected saves energy and keeps the forest breathing. Let the sensors be small, solar‑charged, and covered in moss so they’re unnoticed. And always test them with a quick walk through the grove, listening for any disruption—if the wind still whispers, you’re on the right path.
