That the Parliament welcomes the donation by the Rotary Club of Alloa to the Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) Forth Valley area of an early years resources box; recognises that the RHET was established in 1999 to create the opportunity for every school pupil in Scotland to learn about food, farming and the countryside; believes that the box is full of farming and food production-related activities that younger children in nursery and primary 1 can enjoy; notes that the box can be borrowed free of charge by schools and children's groups for a fortnight at a time so that their teacher can work through it with the children, and further notes that the trust can be contacted at [email protected] for requests to borrow the resource or to organise a free farm visit.
