Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Colm Hayes:
I fully agree. That is why we use two very different figures to arrive at the volume output. We use a figure of 70 cu. m per ha for thinning and 330 cu. m per ha for clearfelling. If anything we err on the conservative side because where land is used for multiple thinnings or for thinning and clearfelling, we only use one figure.
