Taiga Upland continues to deliver restock ground preparation across Scotland — a core part of both our business and the wider commercial forestry cycle. Preparing sites for planters, shaping the ground, and setting the stage for the next generation of timber crops. It’s an important link in the chain — and one that demands real skill.

Restock work isn’t glamorous. It’s often misunderstood. Some say it’s repetitive or “boring.”

But in truth, it’s one of the most technically challenging and mentally demanding operations we do. It takes precision, judgement, and a relentless focus on quality — hectare by hectare, mound by mound.

To deliver consistently at that level, you need outstanding operators — people who care about their craft and take pride in getting it right.

At Taiga Upland, we’re lucky to have plenty of them.

Boring? Not a chance. It’s the foundation of Scotland’s current forestry practice— and we’re proud to play our part in it.

Evolving with the Landscape.

As our peatland restoration and environmental operations have grown, so too has our fleet.

We’ve learned, invested, experimented — and innovated — every step of the way. From standard excavators to purpose-built low-ground-pressure machines, every modification has a reason behind it: longer undercarriages, wider pads, polymer tracks — all designed to tread lightly and perform powerfully.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution in Scotland’s uplands. From the lowlands to the far north-west, each project demands something different — and we’ve built a fleet that can adapt to meet it.

The right machinery matters. But it’s the skilled operators behind the controls who turn that capability into success. Together, they make a winning combination.

At Taiga Upland, we’re proud to be trusted with some of Scotland’s largest and most ambitious restoration and environmental projects — and we’ll keep evolving to meet the challenges ahead.

Learning, growing, and delivering — even in Scotland’s toughest conditions.

Our Forest-to-Bog operations are progressing well under our five-year contract with Forestry and Land Scotland, deep in the woods of South Rannoch.

Almost 100 hectares of challenging ground — stumps to flip, drains to block, water to manage, and delicate restoration work to bring the site back to life.

Working in such soft and remote terrain demands skill, innovation, and teamwork. It’s not easy — but it’s exactly the kind of challenge we thrive on.

We’re proud to be collaborating closely with FLS to refine new operational methods and develop techniques that balance efficiency, environmental care, and safety.

Every site teaches us something new. Every season strengthens our team. We’re building capability, confidence, and resilience!

At Taiga Upland, that’s what progress looks like.

Job satisfaction comes from doing things properly!

We’ve recently completed 6,000m of high-spec deer fencing in the Ochil Hills — protecting a new woodland creation project that will help shape Scotland’s landscape for generations to come.

Fencing at this scale is a major investment, and it has to be done right. That means attention to detail, the right materials, and a team who take real pride in their craft.

Excellent ground and weather conditions allowed our fencing team to make great progress and deliver an outstanding finish — a robust, long-lasting boundary that will stand the test of time.

At Taiga Upland, we don’t cut corners. We supply quality materials like Tornado Wire and 15-year warranty pine posts to ensure our customers get real value and lasting protection.
