Foremyc develops a modular system that listens to forests and transforms environmental and biological data into digital insights. Designed for Alpine ecosystems, it helps forest managers predict risks, track tree health, and build resilient landscapes.

Hi! We are Foremyc, a forest-tech start up.
Our solution are sensing systems and digital twins to help forests speak, track tree health and bark beetles to guide climate resilience in the fragile Alpine ecosystem.

How Myco adapts to a real forest.
We mapped how the system performs across an Alpine territory managed by only a few technicians: workload, coverage, costs and the impact a distributed network can actually deliver.
A concrete scenario to show what changes when monitoring moves from occasional inspections to continuous sensing.
All the details are down below.
How it works: DASHBOARD
The dashboard is where the entire system comes together.
It aggregates the data collected by the sensors in the forest; environmental conditions, tree responses and insect activity and turns them into a clear, readable interface.
From here, forest managers can follow trends, compare areas, spot early warning signals and understand how the ecosystem is evolving over time.
A single place where the complexity of the forest becomes insight, strategy and action.
How it works: ABES
Abes monitors the unseen activity of invasive insects inside the forest.
Once activated, it automatically detects and records captures throughout the season, sending each event through the network built by Gibba.
It reveals when and where insect pressure intensifies, helping identify early risk dynamics before they spread across the landscape.
Abes adds the biological layer to the system; the signals that show how external stressors are interacting with the forest in real time.
How it works: FOMES
Fomes tracks what the eye can’t see.
Once installed on a sample tree, it measures tiny variations in trunk diameter and movement; signals that reveal how the tree is reacting to water stress, wind, temperature shifts and seasonal growth.
It turns mechanical responses into continuous data, creating a direct link between the tree and the platform.
Where Terrae reads the environment, Fomes reads the organism living inside it.
Together, they show how the forest is changing from the inside out.
How it works: TERRAE
Terrae is the ground station of the system.
Once placed in the forest, it starts measuring the conditions that trees respond to every day; temperature, humidity, soil moisture and the microclimate that shapes the health of the ecosystem.
It works autonomously, sending its data through the network created by Gibba and extending the system’s coverage deeper into the landscape.
Terrae builds the baseline: the environmental layer that lets us understand how the forest is changing long before those changes become visible.
How it works: GIBBA
Gibba is the only module in the system connected to the internet.
It builds the LoRaWAN network inside the forest, allowing every other sensor to send data even from areas with no signal at all.
Placed at the edge of the woodland, it becomes the bridge between the field and the dashboard; collecting, routing and transmitting everything that happens deeper in the forest.
This is where the system comes to life: one device creating the connection that lets the rest of the network expand anywhere the forest needs it.
Field testing is where the system proves its purpose.
Here are the first results from months of work in the Alpine forests: data, behaviour, and performance collected directly on site with the Forest Consortium of Valle Averara.
