New native woodland, taking shape in the wilds of the Angus Glens.

This restock site is undergoing a sensitive transformation — from commercial crop to a restructured native woodland, focusing on Scots pine and broadleaves.

It all starts with the ground prep!

Our team is working to a target of 1,600 mounds per hectare, setting out high-quality planting positions that will define future density and support healthy, consistent establishment. When done right, this first step lays the groundwork for everything that follows.

The results here will be significant.

Massive biodiversity gains, restored landscape function, and a stunning new amenity asset for the estate. Native woodland in a wild place — delivered with care, skill, and precision from the ground up.

Proud to be part of the reforestation process.

Taiga Upland is best known for delivering large-scale upland fencing projects — but our foundations lie firmly in agriculture!

This week’s work has taken us back to where it all began: stock fencing on lowland ground. It’s a reminder that while we’ve built a reputation on the hill, we haven’t stepped away from the work that shaped us.

Stock fencing remains one of the most valuable tools in effective land management. Whether it’s protecting boundaries, supporting rotational grazing, or enabling management, the standard of work matters.

We pride ourselves on bringing the same level of professionalism, attention to detail and reliability to every project — whether it’s 14km through exposed moorland or 150m on a roadside field.

✔️ Skilled teams
✔️ High-quality materials
✔️ A finish that stands the test of time

For famers, landowners and managers looking for consistent, high-standard delivery — from the lowlands to the uplands — we’re here to help.

Big views. Big work. Big outcomes.

These drone shots capture more than just epic scenery — they show what real peatland restoration looks like in action.

This is a complex, high-stakes site where one-size-fits-all just doesn’t work. We’ve deployed a range of machine sizes and configurations across the ground to match the varied conditions and features. From deep gullies to broken hags, our operators are adapting in real time — drawing on years of experience to make smart decisions that deliver impact. Improvise or stand still!

And the results? You can see them almost instantly.

Black, exposed peat faces gets reprofiled with turf, transforming the look and feel of the site.
Bunds are installed and water begins pooling immediately.
Flow is slowed, the water table begins to rise, and bare peat is brought back under vegetation or pooling water.

This is why we do the work.

This is what restoring Scotland’s wild places really looks like.

Glamping pod logistics wasn’t on the job list… but when you work in wild places, adaptability is part of the trade.

As part of our ongoing work at Glen Lochay, we were asked to do something a bit different — carefully transport and position glamping pods in remote, scenic spots across the estate.

Not our usual task. But we were up for the challenge.

And that’s exactly what sets Team Taiga apart. We’re not just contractors — we’re problem-solvers.

Whether it’s restoring a damaged peatland, building access across difficult terrain, or figuring out how to move a glamping pod 4 miles out a Highland Glen… we find a way.

Innovation is in our blood! We specialise in delivering complex work in remote, rugged environments — and doing it with care, creativity, and precision.

If you’ve got a challenge in one of Scotland’s wild places — we’d love to hear about it.
