Keep remote areas in view.
Plan sensing points around forest access, terrain and environmental conditions, with a clear path for reviewing observations from the field.
SCOUT / FOREST MONITORING
Earlier awareness.
Informed response.
A connected approach to forest monitoring. SCOUT brings environmental sensing, solar-supported field nodes and wireless communication together to help people recognise changes and plan their response.
- Environmental contextLook at gas readings alongside environmental conditions.
- Connected field sensingBring observations from remote locations into one workflow.
- People in the loopSupport verification, local judgement and response planning.
THE CONNECTED SYSTEM
From a field signal
to an informed decision.
Useful monitoring depends on the whole path: what is measured, how it reaches the team and what happens when something needs attention.
Sense the surroundings.
CO and CO2 readings and other environmental measurements provide context at selected monitoring points.
Connect the field.
Solar-supported nodes send observations through a wireless network. LoRa-based links can form part of the design where coverage and terrain allow.
Bring changes into view.
Monitoring software brings readings and node status together. Project-specific alert rules help direct attention to changes that need review.
Verify and respond.
The responsible team reviews the signal, checks local conditions and follows an agreed escalation and response plan.
An alert is a prompt for assessment. Environmental readings need context and verification; they do not, on their own, confirm a fire.
WHERE IT CAN HELP
Different landscapes.
A shared need for awareness.
The monitoring approach starts with the place and the people responsible for it.
Support local stewardship.
Explore monitoring around managed woodland, visitor areas and access routes, aligned with the responsibilities of the people caring for them.
Connect the wider setting.
Consider environmental sensing along utility, transport or other infrastructure corridors, alongside site access and maintenance needs.
ENGINEERING AROUND THE PLACE
Start with the site.
Plan the whole response.
A useful system is more than a sensor on a tree. We consider the field environment, the communication path and the team receiving the information.
Talk through your requirements- Terrain & placement
Consider vegetation, local conditions, access and sensor positioning. Choose monitoring locations around the questions the system needs to help answer.
- Power & maintenance
Assess sunlight, shading, energy demand and service access when planning solar support, batteries and maintenance intervals.
- Communication coverage
Review radio paths, gateway locations and backhaul options. Establish how the system should report a missing connection or unavailable node.
- Response workflow
Agree who receives an alert, how it is checked and when it is escalated. Make responsibilities and follow-up clear before introducing monitoring.
