You cannot be farming on a healthy peatland, because you would have had to rewet it. Do the witnesses not agree? If you want to go for annex 1 - and they are pretty familiar with it - how do you get there? The only way the national parks can do it at the moment under annex 1 is by rewetting in order to let sphagnum mosses grow. Is that right or wrong?
