The correlation I am making is that as there was an environmental assessment for the felling licence, why redo it all for a replanting licence on the same site when replacing trees with trees? I will forward the details of the individual case but the question I really am asking is how many people are in the same situation. They are in limbo. They are caught. How many such applications have been made? Why can the Department not give an amnesty to these people? They are replacing trees with trees and forestry with forestry.
