Forest roads are the foundation of everything the forestry industry moves. Timber, plant, people, materials — everything depends on a road that was built properly!
The team is on site this month starting a major forest road upgrade — mobilised in, clearing the vegetation from the corridor ready for the road formation work to follow.
Forest road construction and upgrades are a significant and growing part of what we do at Taiga Upland. Skilled operators, specialist kit, and the discipline to run multiple machines on a live forestry estate — for Forestry and Land Scotland under our framework contract, and for private forestry clients across Scotland.
New roads, upgrades, repairs. The fundamentals are the same on all of them. Reading the ground, managing the water, building to a standard that lasts.

Summer on Rannoch Moor.
Several of our excavators working across the bog, blocking drains and reprofiling peat to slow the water down and lift the water table back to where it belongs. This was one of the driest summers we’ve had, and still the pools were forming behind the dams within days, and the bog was starting to green up around them.
Peatland restoration is slow, patient work. This is what it looks like when it starts to take.
If you fancy this kind of work, we’re always looking for great people to join our team. Application link in our bio.

We had the whole Taiga Upland team at the Donavourd yard this month for an all-hands meeting — new PPE handed out, new IT systems walked through, and a chance to sit down together and look at the season ahead.
Getting everyone in one place doesn't happen often when the work is spread across Scotland's uplands, and it was a good reminder of what we've built. Around 55 people, all directly employed, a great mix of experienced hands and younger operators coming up, all part of the same team. Proper year-round jobs in the rural communities where our work actually happens!
There's a big season ahead — landscape-scale peatland restoration, woodland creation, and forestry projects across Scotland. And the team to deliver it.
