Young Scot, Scotland’s Young People’s Forest

Seumas (aged 11), Margaret (aged 12) and Atholl (aged 11) live in the Western Isles and are members of the Children’s Parliament in Scotland. Since October 2020, the children have been part of Scotland’s Climate Assembly – the first citizens’ assembly to directly involve children – and are continuing to influence climate action at local and national levels. They continue to work together with over 100 children across Scotland, as well as the support of their team mascot, Brochan the hedgehog.
