Forest Sponsors

We’re very lucky to be supported by our CoolPartners who contribute towards our forest creations. Their support ensures that we can deliver these forests with no financial cost to the school.

We are also delighted when our CoolPartners join us on the event days to help us deliver the forest creation, as they did for the events in Coolmine Community School.
