Appeal grounds
Notes:
If an application to afforest the lands was submitted it would be refused because of the peat depth – why does the Forest Service consider it to be Good Forestry Practice to construct a Forest Road over land that it would not permit to be afforested?
The Forest Service continues to licence reforestation on sites that it would not permit to be planted.
Peat depth is measured in the field on certain afforestation projects – but often just to 30cm + rather than a measure of the full depth.
