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 Scoil Fhursa.

Lead Sponsor

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

We were delighted to partner with AWS InCommunities as we delivered Urban Forests through the 2023/24 planting season.

AWS were the Lead Sponsor for this wonderful forest being developed in Scoil Fhursa, bringing biodiversity and nature into this wonderful school in the heart of the Kilmore West and Coolock community. Their sponsorship meant that this forest was provided at no cost to the school, keeping the school’s funds where they’re most needed.
