Wrexham have accumulated 82 points and to seal one of the three promotion spots in League Two.
Stockport have also earned their spot in England's third tier for next season, and need one more win to secure the title.
But second place is more than enough for the Red Dragons, who went ahead through Elliot Lee before star man Paul Mullin doubled the lead.
Forest Green defender Ryan Inniss put through his own net to make it three and Mullin struck again before half-time.

And, at full-time, party mode was activated as stars could be seen celebrating on the pitch.

How Ryan Reynolds has been watching Wrexham games in style
CO-OWNER Ryan Reynolds hasn't been able to make it to Wrexham in recent weeks due to filming commitments.
But that hasn't stopped him from watching his team in style.
Streaming the match on a laptop or even a TV was not grand enough for the Deadpool star as he worked on the set of his latest movie.
With a giant green screen behind him, he could not resist broadcasting Wrexham’s recent game on to the huge projector.
Reynolds and his crew watched on as the Welsh side notched their 23rd win of the season against Crawley Town.
He looked enamoured as the game played on behind him while surrounding by various pieces of Hollywood machinery.
And Reynolds captioned the moment: “Watching the Wrexham game at work: new level unlocked.”
It’s not clear what project Reynolds was working on at the time, with the actor currently developing several new movies including sequels to smash hits Free Guy and Red Notice.
