Devon-based natural pet food producer Forthglade has announced its support of the Woodland Trust, with an annual sponsorship which started this month.

The Woodland Trust started its work in 1972 in Devon and is now the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity.  It’s committed to protecting and restoring the UK’s ancient forests, protecting woodland wildlife and conserving woodlands for future generations to enjoy.

Since the Woodland Trust launched, over 38,000,000 trees have been planted, over 600 woods saved, and 22,500 hectares of ancient woodland are successfully under restoration.

“We’re passionate about promoting the health benefits of getting the whole family including our dogs, outdoors into the fresh air.  Our wonderful woodlands provide an idyllic setting for dog walks and an exciting space for our dogs to exercise. The Woodland Trust runs incredible projects to conserve our precious green spaces and we’re really pleased to offer our support,” said Gerard Lovell, Forthglade’s joint MD.

Forthglade will be supporting many of the charity’s programmes next year with social media projects and short educational films planned.

The Devonian dog lovers will also promote events aimed to encourage families and their four-legged friends into the great outdoors to make the most of the wonderful woodlands and the nature within it.

“It’s great working with companies such as Forthglade as sponsorships like theirs enables us to continue with our environmental projects.  This helps us make a real difference to the future of woods and trees, local communities, and our UK landscape. We’re thrilled Forthlade will be helping us promote projects that will be relevant, interesting and fun to dog owners and their families,” said Abi Kennie, Account Manager at the Woodland Trust.

Forthglade will also be promoting the Nature Detective programme for children, as well as encouraging youngsters to become ‘Citizen Scientists’.
