The opportunity involves operating concessions at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest, Jeskyns Community Woodland, and Hole Farm Community Woodland for up to 10 years, with total values ranging from £1 million to £10 million. The leases are expected to start from January 2024 onwards, subject to completion of planning permissions and infrastructure build.
