Our Latest News
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.

Landscape-scale upland deer fencing is a specific discipline. It's built to hold for decades in country that punishes shortcuts.
We've been doing this work in Scotland's uplands for twenty years — fencing is where Taiga Upland started, and it's still one of the things we do best. Skilled teams, the right equipment for the terrain, directly employed crews working to the same standard on every job. Strong leadership on site, and the experience to make hard work look straightforward.
None of it is complicated. All of it is hard to sustain over a full season, on multiple sites, at scale.
Commissioning upland fencing next year? Put Taiga Upland at the top of your list.

2025 was the pain year at Taiga Upland!
We rolled out a full stack of new business systems — Monday.com at the centre of it as our single point of reference, Xero running the accounts, UINTA capturing site data on the hill, and new digital workflows for time, project tracking, and delivery. It was a huge amount of change in one year, and everyone who's been through something similar knows what that actually feels like.
We stuck with it. 2026 is the year we're reaping the rewards.
Everything connects back to one place now. Cleaner reporting for our clients, more accurate invoicing, less time on paperwork for the team, and nothing falling through the cracks the way it used to.
Behind all of it is our Business Operations and Systems lead, Otto Sanderson, who designed and built every one of these systems for Taiga Upland. That's real work, real judgement, and a lot of quiet determination to see it through. Credit where it's very much due.
