Dr. Alan Moore:

In response to Senator Daly's question about forestry, this group focuses on the issue of hedgerows, but in general terms, we acknowledge the need for forestry plantation, provided it reflects native species to a reasonable percentage because of the lack of native species, that is, the figure of 1.5% I mentioned.

The setback relates to the encroachment on hedgerows by new forestry. We recommend simply that setback is in line with the recommendations in order that hedgerows are not further damaged.
