That the Parliament recognises the work that is being undertaken to protect Arran whitebeams, which are a species of tree indigenous to the Isle of Arran; notes the efforts made by the Woodland Trust Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh and the Arran Trust to promote a wider understanding of unique trees that are native to Scotland; commends the efforts of landowners and conservation bodies to protect and promote these; understands that one species of Arran whitebeam is the Catacol whitebeam, which is Scotland’s most endangered tree, with only one known specimen in the wild; commends what it considers the magnificent efforts being made to protect such trees; believes that native tree species are important to Scotland, and congratulates everyone who works to protect, preserve and promote what it sees as an important indigenous contribution to Scotland's environment.
