It has been agreed with the National Parks and Wildlife Service that the definition of heath to be used in relation to afforestation applications in proposed hen harrier designated areas should be that as set out in the manual for the Production of Grazing Impact Assessments in Upland and Peat Habitats as produced by Dúchas the National Heritage Service and my Department in January 1999.
