We have our very own Spielberg here at SM FORESTRY LTD

Justinas, a foreman with a passion for highlighting what it takes to be a tree planter.

This job is just outside edinburgh creating a boundry between a new housing development and a science based farm (science and advice for Scottish agriculture)

Brilliant to be doing some well needed agroforestry. Here's to working with agriculture as trees and farms can work brilliantly together.

One of the most important parts of tree planting for maximum efficiency and minimal bodily strain to planters is the layout.

We at SM Forestry believe this so much that we continually invest in our kit, and every site is looked at with an open mind. As hard as it is to believe ATVs are not always the most efficient mode of transport. This year, we've had 2 sites where our ATVs got sidelined.

Firstly, on the beautiful Isle of Skye, PDG Aviation took the reins, safely transporting our trees to the plant caches.

The second job is a riparian zone along the River Forth.
We decided the way to get trees where they needed to be was by boat due to a forest-to-bog restoration project inhibiting the use of ATVs.

Going into 2026 as one of the leading silviculture companies in Scotland, not only for output, but more importantly, compliance and quality.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all of our clients and teams. 🌲🌳

Well its been a while since i did anything to thank the core team of guys for all the hard work they do for us. It got a little competitive but i certainly had a blast, hopefully we have another successful season and can meet back next year to fix the podium picture.

The End of another planting season and things show no signs of slowing, continued growth and development of our core teams has meant that the addition of another welfare van was a must, freshly adorned with the SM Forestry ltd fleet branding, courtesy of DAS Signs Ltd

Congratulations to our MD Shane Milne who was busy today running his first half marathon.
In true shane style he picked the most gruelling half marathon he could find with 30 obstacles along the way.

Well done shane and we look forward to seeing your first full marathon 😎
