That the Parliament welcomes the planting of more than 6,000 native trees in Sauchie to create a new woodland; understands that this is part of the wider Forth Climate Forest project, which is led by the University of Stirling and aims to plant 16 million trees by 2033 to help the Forth Valley adapt to the climate crisis; recognises that the project will have multiple climate benefits, including supporting local biodiversity and wildlife, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, creating canopy cover in towns and cities and generating social and health benefits; congratulates the Conservation Volunteers for beginning the work of planting these trees during National Tree week, and wishes the project continued success.
