Lodged by Paul McLennan (Scottish National Party) Members' Business Motion 36 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes John Muir Day on 21 April 2022 and commends the John Muir Trust on 25 years of running the John Muir Award; understands that, since its launch in Scotland, it has encouraged over 451,578 people from all backgrounds across the UK to enjoy, connect with, and care for wild places through a nationally recognised environmental award scheme, and considers that nature connection encourages healthy pro-environmental behaviours, which it believes are essential for a fairer, sustainable world, including tackling the climate crisis and reversing biodiversity loss.
