Filmed over the course of six months, this spectacular series follows the extraordinary men and women who live and work in the Galloway Forest, where 600,000 tonnes of timber is produced every year.

From highly skilled chainsaw operators harvesting trees from the forest’s most dangerous terrain to the Wildlife Rangers protecting rare and endangered species; and from the tree planters who’ve planted a million trees to the sawmill workers who power through 20,000 logs a day. With a cast of dedicated foresters, astronomers, rally drivers – and even hyacinth macaw breeders, the series gives a unique and surprising insight to the world of Galloway forest, viewed by some as a park and by others as a factory that just keeps growing.
