Mr. Mark Carlin:

It could be. Alder is a species that is very tolerant of wet ground and suitable for that. If we are rewetting bogs, we have to understand why we are doing that. If it is to try to recreate pristine bog, particularly with special areas of conservation, then the right treatment might not be to plant trees. In areas where it is the right thing to do, then that is what we will look at doing. A combination of both could be an attractive option.
