The Trust will use the money to plant native British trees in areas that were once part of the historic Forest.
Forza Garibaldi raised the money earlier this summer by raffling off a collection of flags, which were displayed outdoors near the famous Major Oak, including a huge banner depicting Sherwood Forest’s most famous son, Robin Hood.

Hide AdLinda Hardy, of the Sherwood Forest Trust, said: “As the Nottingham Forest emblem is an oak tree, it’s appropriate that the money will help us put oaks and other native trees back into areas where woodland has been lost.
"Planting trees helps combat climate change and creates new habitats for wildlife.
"We’re really grateful to the fabulous Forza Garibaldi fans - using the power of the Reds to make Nottinghamshire a greener place.”
