Taiga Upland

Another mobilisation underway this week — and this one is set to be one of the largest contracts we’ve taken on!

For us, mobilisation is all about logistics. Getting the right machines, the right people, and the right resources into the right places at exactly the right times. It doesn’t always go perfectly to plan — anyone who works in the uplands knows that — but we’ve got a team who are committed to doing things properly, supporting each other, and keeping the job moving.

Once everything’s on site, the real challenge begins: getting machines from the roadside to the work areas, tracking over long distances and into some tough ground.

And then the serious work starts.
Restoring degraded peat.
Protecting fragile habitats.
Bringing the hills back to life.

Pushing on at Mar Lodge Estate near Braemar, continuing our work with our friends at the National Trust for Scotland!

After completing a stretch of upland deer fencing, our team has now moved down onto the lower ground to erect approximately 3km of offset electric fencing. This type of barrier is designed to be low impact, highly effective, and crucial for protecting regenerating Scots pine habitats across the estate.

The photos say it all — the team grafting hard, keeping morale high, and delivering quality work in challenging conditions. These teams are the backbone of Taiga Upland. Every day they head to the hill, bring their best, and help deliver real environmental impact.

Proud of the work. Proud of the partnership. Proud of the team.

We’re continuing forest road construction works in the Ochil Hills for our long-standing clients at Scottish Woodlands!

This project supports two large-scale woodland creation schemes, with infrastructure being installed early to allow for smooth planting and access. And long after these trees are in the ground, the roads we’re building today will support future harvesting operations.

We’re making full use of local resources — with as-dug rock available onsite, we’re opening up borrow pits to win stone directly. The material can be variable, but having rock on hand is a massive advantage on projects like this. It cuts down haulage, reduces impact, and keeps progress moving.

Some places get under your skin!

For us, it was always going to be the Scottish uplands.

We built Taiga Upland here on purpose — not just because we know the ground, but because we care about it. These hills, these bogs, these forests — they’re part of who we are.

We never tire of the challenge or the beauty.

But we also take our responsibilities seriously. Right now, we’re involved in several large-scale peatland and woodland projects that will have a massive positive impact on Scotland’s environment.

This work matters. And we’re committed to doing it professionally, carefully, and with long-term outcomes in mind — not shortcuts.

These are Scotland’s wild places — and we’re here to help protect and restore.

Back for our third season at Delnadamph Estate in Aberdeenshire — another big year of peatland restoration with our friends at Bidwells and the Cairngorms National Park Authority. 🌿

It’s always special returning to projects like this. You build a rhythm with the land and the people — a shared pride in seeing a site transform over the years!

Our operators have worked hard in some really challenging ground conditions, supported by smooth project management to keep everything running safely and efficiently.

We’re not just turning up for a job — we’re part of a long-term journey to restore Scotland’s uplands.
