North Pennines National Landscape Sensor Stick 3
Groundwater level

The Water Level SensorStick is a fully integrated, self-sufficient monitoring solution. It combines a power source based on living plants, accurate sensors, and data transmission via satellite. The SensorStick generates electricity directly from plant roots and soil microorganisms in wetlands. This innovative technology eliminates the need for traditional batteries and offers a low-maintenance, environmentally friendly alternative that reduces both operational costs and ecological impact. In this way, we create a system that can collect and transmit data anytime, anywhere, without having to replace batteries and without requiring a local data network.

Soil moisture

Healthy grass, healthy vegetation, and strong tree growth depend on careful water management. The Soil Moisture SensorStick provides continuous, real-time soil moisture data for golf courses, nurseries, urban green spaces, and agriculture, enabling smarter and more efficient irrigation. It combines high-quality soil moisture sensors with a very long lifespan and a power source that never runs out. The SensorStick generates electricity directly from plant roots and soil microorganisms in wetlands. This innovative technology eliminates the need for traditional batteries and offers a low-maintenance, eco-friendly alternative that reduces both operating costs and ecological impact. This ensures reliable, maintenance-free operation all year round.

Water quality

The water quality SensorStick is suitable for installing a fine-meshed monitoring network around greenhouses and agricultural plots. The SensorStick measures EC and temperature, thereby acting as an early detection system for changes in water quality that can be acted upon immediately. By applying it in the ditches and waterways surrounding the plot or greenhouse, it can be demonstrated that the greenhouse or plot is emission-free, and rapid intervention is possible should a leak or runoff occur. This helps avoid fines and improves water quality. The SensorStick generates electricity directly from plant roots and soil microorganisms in wetlands. This innovative technology eliminates the need for traditional batteries and offers a low-maintenance, environmentally friendly alternative that reduces both operational costs and ecological impact.

PROJECTS

Our complete projects include multiple Plant-e systems integrated into various landscapes. This includes extensive installations in parks and outdoor areas, as well as standalone systems, such as in planters or tree boxes.

Proud of a major milestone within the Transparent Gardener Project, an initiative in which growers, knowledge institutions, and partners collaborate to continuously and reliably monitor surface water quality around greenhouses. The goal: to detect leaks more quickly and limit environmental damage. On November 11, all 15 SensorStick prototypes were successfully […]
We're thrilled to share a successful installation with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council! 🌱On December 18, 2025, Justin Vievermanns from Plant-e visited Blacklion to provide installation training for the SensorSticks. Together with Roisin Black and Jack burns from Fermanagh & Omagh District Council, they installed two SensorSticks […]
