The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Dumfries and Galloway Woodlands after it was awarded £194,190 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards a project that aims to increase its capacity and accelerate towards organisational sustainability; understands that the initiative brings together a range of partners, including organisations and individuals that want to support trees, habitat and the people that depend upon them locally; recognises that Dumfries and Galloway Woodlands is registered as a not-for-profit organisation that aims to provide a response to the climate and nature crisis by creating a better understanding and appreciation of the natural heritage; understands that the National Lottery Heritage Fund has distributed £960 million of funding to more than 4,900 projects across Scotland since it was established in 1994, including £7,941,078 to a total of 124 projects in Galloway and West Dumfries over the same period, and wishes both Dumfries and Galloway Woodlands and the National Lottery Heritage Fund continued success in the coming months ahead as they invest more funding into museums, parks, natural environments and historic places.
