Dr. Andy Bleasdale:

I believe the thinking behind the Wild Atlantic Nature project and results-based scoring, which has also migrated into ACRES, is for that model to be regularised and delivered. We are not there yet and it might take years for us to deliver it nationwide, but we are on that road. If the score for and management of a site are positive regardless of how the farmer got there, for example, through controlled and sensitive burning, then that might be the way to get there, but I cannot give the Senator the roadmap to achieve that outcome immediately.
