The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the River Dee Trust and Fishery Board on reaching the halfway point in the multi award-winning One Million Trees campaign, by planting the 500,000th tree; understands that it is significantly ahead of schedule and that this milestone marked a commitment to step up the restoration of the river’s vast catchment, safeguarding nature, homes and businesses; notes that the 500,000th tree was planted on 9 April 2025 on the banks of the Allt Cholzie Burn by two young conservationist sisters, 10-year-old Izzy and 13-year-old Abbie from Aboyne; understands that the Trust’s One Million Trees campaign was launched in 2020 and has become one of the largest restoration projects in the Cairngorms, with support from communities, landowners and businesses, and wishes it success in keeping the momentum going to reach one million trees planted.
