Sorry, Janet, but Mabon wants to come in first, and then we'll go on to tree planting.

Thank you. Janet, and then we'll come to Mabon, and then we'll move on.

We’ve now got Huw wanting to come in. I know both Janet and Mabon want to come in on this, and we need to cover woodlands, tree planting and timber before we conclude. So, maybe I’ll go straight to Huw, and then we’ll move on accordingly.

Okay. Thank you for that. We'll come on to Janet now and then we'll come back to Joyce, but, Joyce, we may need to condense some of the questions, because I'm just mindful of time. But, Janet, you're next.

Annual scrutiny of Natural Resources Wales
Okay. Thank you for that. Right, Huw can come in, but very, very briefly, with maybe a concise response, and then I'll bring Janet in then, because we need to make progress. Huw.

There we are. Great. Diolch, Huw. Right, we'll come on to Joyce, then, who's going to take us into another area of questioning.

Okay. Thank you for that. I think we've lost Janet again, so I just wanted to ask as well about recruitment, which has been identified as a strategic risk by yourselves. Clearly, you're not alone in that, I suppose, in terms of local authorities reporting…

Okay. I know Mabon has raised this in the past, but there are question marks about some of your visitor centres. Do you want to elaborate a bit about what the prospects—
