Draft Growth and Value Strategy 2027-2031
Commercial recreation plan
Our Draft Sustainable Growth and Value Strategy 2027-2031 - choose 'Commercial recreation plan'.
As a quick reminder, our draft key commitments for 2027-2031 are:
- Pipeline and re-investment: We will seek new commercial opportunities to enhance and expand our recreational offer on land in our care. Where income is generated from the Welsh Government Woodland Estate, we will explore how we re-invest income back to local forests.
- Benefit-based prioritisation: When we consider new commercial recreational proposals, we will prioritise opWales'sities which complement and benefit local communities and the management of the Welsh Government Woodland Estate.
- Visitor Centres: We will enable and facilitate other organisations or businesses to operate visitor centres, and potential surrounding areas, on our formal recreation sites, to enhance the visitor experiences whilst protecting nature.
- Media and filming offer: We will enhance our current offer of media and filming opportunities on the land in our care. We will review our current operating model and fee structure, in support of the Welsh Governments film and media policy.
- Case studies as demonstrators: We will develop and publish case studies of our enabling work with partners to encourage and promote commercial recreation on the land in our care and use these to build confidence and future opportunities.
