An applicant with technical approval to plant must submit a new application if they wish to change their registered forester. Applications under the Afforestation Scheme include an assessment of the site by the registered forester both from an environmental and silvicultural perspective, together with his/her operational proposals for the planting of the site. The registered forester must, inter alia, declare that the application meets the Scheme conditions and that the proposal is in compliance with the necessary protocols, procedures, silvicultural and other standards as prescribed by the Department.
