Galloway National Park Transformation

  • Submitted by: Lorna Slater, Lothian, Scottish Green Party
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 24 July 2024
  • Motion type: Standard Motion
  • Motion reference: S6M-13943

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement of Galloway being selected as Scotland’s next national park; understands that there was considerable interest in the process, with bids from across the country, all carrying bold visions of people and nature thriving together, and welcomes what it sees as the transformative impact that this will have in terms of local nature, communities, investment, protections and opportunities, all to bring forward a fairer and greener country that sustains and celebrates Scotland's biodiverse nature and landscapes.
