The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Deveron, Bogie and Isla Rivers Charitable Trust on its 25th anniversary, which will be marked in September 2026; recognises the trust’s significant contribution to the conservation, protection and restoration of the River Deveron over the last quarter of a century; acknowledges the importance of its work in preserving and enhancing the natural environment, supporting native flora and fauna and contributing to local communities, the rural economy and the area’s natural heritage; highlights the vital role that the trust plays in the conservation of wild Atlantic salmon, an endangered species that are a key indicator of the health of river ecosystems, through Project Deveron, a 10-year project launched in 2023 in partnership with the Atlantic Salmon Trust; notes, in particular, the trust’s role in establishing Scotland’s first catchment-scale sonar camera system, funded by the Scottish Government, to count returning salmon and the recent completion of its major dam removal project, which restored access to approximately 11 kilometres of river habitat and was supported by Chivas Brothers, through its The River Within partnership, and the Stichting European Open Rivers Programme, and wishes the trust continued success in its efforts for future generations.
