Claire Baker: The Ecology Centre, Kinghorn, Marks its 20th Anniversary—That
the Parliament congratulates everyone at the Ecology Centre, which is in Kinghorn, Fife, on its
20th anniversary; understands that it was established by people from the area and residents of
Craigencalt Farm for the purpose of developing and managing the Kinghorn Loch site for
community use; notes that, with the help of the Scottish Land Fund, the charity purchased land at
the east end of the loch and that the site has been continually being developed by staff and
volunteers to maintain its rich biodiversity and to help it deliver its community growing projects,
environmental education and outdoor volunteering opportunities; believes that the centre also
provides employment training opportunities through Our Bright Future and Community Jobs
Scotland; recognises what it sees as the significance of its environmental and outdoor education
programme with the area's schools with which emphasis is placed on the importance of how to
care for the environment and to maintain the positive preservation of eco-systems for the benefit of
wildlife and future generations; commends the hard work of the centre’s many valued volunteers
and its staff, and extends its very best wishes for the anniversary celebrations and for the centre's
future.
