That the Parliament celebrates Forth Valley Sensory Centre for its work in organising the planting of 30 new trees next to the Falkirk Wheel with pupils from Windsor Park School; recognises that the project was part of the Queen’s Green Canopy Project, originally set up to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee; notes that a commemorative plaque was unveiled, which has been translated into braille, and can be scanned to reveal a video of deaf Windsor Park pupils explaining their hopes for the future of the planet using British Sign Language; notes that the video is also audio-described to make it accessible to all, and congratulates Forth Valley Sensory Centre for its work in supporting people of all ages with sight or hearing impairments across central Scotland.
