Forest Green Rovers Rekindles Partnership with Memorial Woodlands
Forest Green Rovers has renewed its partnership with Memorial Woodlands, continuing its relationship as a Community Partner with the world's greenest football team. The deal, which is in its fourth year, will see both parties working together on encouraging people to think about the environmental impact of funerals.
Why it Matters for Forest Green
The partnership between Forest Green Rovers and Memorial Woodlands is a perfect fit around sustainability and community. The club's commitment to environmental consciousness and Memorial Woodlands' aim to create a 100-acre woodland and make funerals more environmentally friendly through traditional burial are aligned.
What Comes Next?
The partnership will see both parties working together on various programs to support local families. Dane Vince, CEO at Forest Green Rovers, said, "I am delighted that this Partnership will now extend into a 4th Season, helping the FGR Trust directly support local families across a variety of programmes."
The future woodlands will be managed by Bristol Memorial Woodland Trust, a registered charity which has produced free resources that are available online and in print to help people with end-of-life planning and with practical and emotional support through grief. These resources will be made available to supporters of Forest Green Rovers who can access them by visiting www.bristolmemorialwoodlandtrust.org.
Forest Green Rovers is currently preparing for its next fixture, which is against Wealdstone away on 2027-02-16, where they are 20th in the table. The club's commitment to sustainability and community is evident in its partnership with Memorial Woodlands, and this deal will continue to support local families and promote environmental consciousness.
