About KSM Forest & Land
KSM Forest and Land provides no-fuss, professional services to landowners, estates, developers, and rural businesses across Aberdeenshire.
Led by Kieran MacBain, we specialise in land clearance, timber harvesting, replanting, and long-term woodland management, always with safety, compliance, and practicality at the core.
A Local Name You Can Rely On
We don’t overcomplicate things. We work with people who need their land sorted, whether that’s clearing scrub for fencing, harvest trees for income for landowners and estates, or for development purposes, or planning a new woodland.
We understand the land around here. We know the difference between getting a job done and getting it done properly. That’s what keeps our clients coming back, and what drives us to deliver quality work every time.
We work across Scotland, with a strong presence throughout the North East, including Aberdeen, Inverurie, Turriff, Ballater, Elgin, Fraserburgh, and the wider Aberdeenshire area. Our projects also take us further afield to locations such as Oban, Tain, and the Scottish Borders. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise.
Supporting Quality Work Across Scotland’s Forests
Working across forestry and land management requires experience, specialist knowledge and a commitment to doing things properly. Our accreditations and memberships support the way we work, helping us maintain high standards in safety, training and responsible forestry practices.
From recognised industry schemes to ongoing team development, these standards play an important role in how we approach every site and every project.
We continue to invest in recognised training, industry relationships and safe working procedures to ensure every project is completed to the highest standard.
