What's one of the hardest features to fix on a peatland restoration site?
Peat pans. Big open areas of bare, drying peat, stripped back by years of wind and water erosion, losing carbon into the atmosphere with every year that goes by.
Restoring them takes a plan. Cell and surface bunding to create small pools where water can sit, cover the bare peat, and let sphagnum mosses start to establish. The technique is well understood. What's harder is the reality of doing it — pans that size often don't have enough usable turf nearby, and moving material in without damaging the wider bog needs the right kit and skilled operators to run it.
That's the bit we've invested in properly, and it's what gets the outcomes clients are looking for.

Taiga Upland is growing our team that restores Scotland's peatlands by hand: building timber dams, moving stone, laying geo-textile, re-seeding bare peat. It's physical, outdoor work in remote upland terrain — tough, rewarding, and genuinely worthwhile.
You'll be part of a driven team that takes real pride in the job and has each other's backs on the hill.

Fencing is where Taiga Upland started — and almost twenty years on, it's still a huge part of what we do!
Skilled teams out on the hill, week in and week out, building boundaries that stand up to weather, deer pressure, and the test of time. It's the right people, the right kit, and the experience to put both together properly on a difficult site. That's what makes landscape-scale fencing work.
It's also a good life if it's for you. Out on the hill, working with a proper team, building something that lasts. We're always on the lookout for the right people — if that sounds like the kind of work you'd be good at, get in touch.

Our new track press is proving to be a really useful addition to the workshop team!
Another piece of in-house capability that keeps our fleet moving. Repairs done in our own workshop / on site mean quicker turnarounds, less downtime, and machines back on the hill faster. That's the bit that matters — for us, and for our customers who need the work to keep moving on programme.
Steady investment, steady improvement. That's how we're built.

A quick update from the team on our mounding programme for Forestry and Land Scotland's Tay Forest District.
Pushing towards 450 hectares this season. Started on time, currently running ahead of schedule. That comes down to strong on-site leadership, experienced certified operators on the machines, and consistent mound densities across the work — the things that turn a programme into a quality result rather than just a finished one.
Keeping it on schedule means the planters get their window, the trees go in when they're meant to, and the new crop gets the start it deserves.
Steady work, properly done. That's the job!
