That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that the Scottish Land Fund has awarded Aigas Community Forest £221,000; understands that this award means that 121 acres of the Aigas Forest will be purchased under the National Forest Land Scheme; further understands that the remaining 580 acres of commercial woodland will be leased, thereby bringing the entire forest into community control; offers its congratulations to Andrew Leaver and all the members of Aigas Community Forest; wishes them every success in the development and management of the forest for the commercial and environmental benefit of the local community, and looks forward to hearing of future successes in the area.
