Mr. Mark Carlin:

It is a very pertinent question that we are now asking ourselves in terms of reforestation. We are learning all the time, in particular when it comes to organic soils and bogs and what the right thing is to do. Deputy Fitzmaurice is familiar with the territory. Where harvesting lodgepole pine on bogs, the question is whether to have a second rotation. We must be much more open to what is the right way to treat these bogs. It may be the case that the right thing to do with flush bogs is to get a fibre crop from them. Choosing not to replant them and rewetting them instead might also be the best thing to do.
