The motion

That the Parliament is enthused that a project working with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in Clackmannanshire, and further afield, to improve green spaces, has been shortlisted for an award; believes that Froglife's Scottish Green Pathways Project (Scottish GP), which works across Clackmannanshire, Dundee, Falkirk, Fife, Glasgow and Renfrewshire, has been shortlisted in the Youth and Education category at RSPB Scotland's prestigious Nature of Scotland Awards; understands that the project works with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people aged eight to 18, or 25 for those with additional support needs, to improve green spaces for wildlife through practical and educational outdoor sessions; notes that the young people work as groups or individuals in a range of one-off and longer-term projects that aim to improve confidence, social skills and positive behaviour along with participants' knowledge and appreciation of wildlife with a particular focus on amphibians and reptiles, along with transferable skills such as pond creation and building bog gardens, and wishes everyone involved with the project all the very best at the awards ceremony, which is co-sponsored by NatureScot and will be held in Edinburgh, on 17 November 2022.
