Land Wanted for Long-Term Lease – Forestry Tree Nursery Development
Avalon Forestry Nursery is seeking a long-term land partnership to establish a professional tree nursery supplying native broadleaf and commercial forestry trees for the UK’s rapidly expanding woodland creation, habitat restoration, and environmental planting programmes.
Our aim is simple: to grow high-quality trees that will help create the forests, woodlands, wildlife habitats, and carbon projects of the future.
A Sustainable Approach
The nursery will utilise the Ellepot propagation system, an innovative biodegradable growing method that promotes healthier root development, stronger establishment rates, and reduced environmental impact compared with conventional plastic container systems.
Production Will Be
- 100% peat-free
- Focused on biosecurity and plant health
- Designed to minimise waste and resource use
- Developed with soil health and environmental stewardship at its core
Propagation will take place within moveable polytunnels, with outdoor growing areas used for hardening-off and producing robust, field-ready planting stock.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The nursery will initially operate on a modest scale, expanding gradually as customer demand and supply contracts are secured.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–10 acres of level agricultural or horticultural land
- Within approximately one hour of Liverpool
- Preferred locations: Merseyside, West Lancashire, Cheshire, Shropshire, or the North Wales border region
- Reliable water supply (mains, borehole, pond, stream, reservoir, or rainwater harvesting potential)
- Suitable access for deliveries and light agricultural machinery
- Permission for polytunnels, irrigation systems, and associated nursery infrastructure
- Long-term lease preferred (5 years minimum)
- Existing barn, yard, or storage building beneficial but not essential
What We Offer
- Reliable long-term rental income
- A professionally managed and environmentally responsible business
- Investment in infrastructure and site improvements
- Enhanced biodiversity and positive environmental outcomes
- Minimal land footprint and efficient site utilisation
- A tenant committed to maintaining high standards of stewardship and land care

Supporting Landowners
If you are considering woodland creation, estate forestry, shelterbelts, biodiversity enhancement, habitat restoration, or carbon sequestration projects, I would be pleased to discuss how Avalon Forestry Nursery may be able to assist with species selection, planting advice, and future tree supply.
This is more than a nursery project – it is an opportunity to support the next generation of British woodlands while generating value from underutilised land.
If your land could help grow a future forest, I would be happy to hear from you.
