Big Nature Festival at Levenhall a Success

  • Submitted by: Alison Johnstone, Lothian, Scottish Green Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 27 May 2015
  • Motion reference: S4M-13284

That the Parliament congratulates the organisers and participants of Scotland’s Big Nature Festival, including the Scottish Birdfair, on what it considers a successful family-friendly event on 23 and 24 May 2015 at Levenhall Links in Musselburgh; understands that several thousand people attended over the weekend to take part in activities and talks and sample local food and drink, bringing a welcome boost to the East Lothian economy; notes the significant potential for Levenhall links and lagoons as a haven for wildlife and as a valuable green space for the community to benefit from, and supports the ongoing efforts of East Lothian Council, Scottish Power, RSPB and the Friends of Musselburgh Links group to progress further restoration of the site to create a high quality nature reserve for future generations to enjoy.
