Cumberland Community Forest Society

There are 1,000,000 uses for our forest. Help us preserve it.
The future of the forest is in your hands.

Over 150 Acres of Forest Preserved...

...but our work has only just begun. The Cumberland Community Forest Society, and their friends and supporters, have accomplished an amazing feat over the past 5 years. They have ensured the protection of over 150 acres of beautiful forest lands surrounding the Village of Cumberland.

New monthly donors are needed to meet monthly fundraising targets. Make monthly donations (pdf 190 Kb) of $10 or more towards the forest, or give a one-time donation (pdf 112 Kb). The CCFS now has charitable status, allowing us to give tax receipts for all donations over $10.

CCFS Spring Plant Sale

Friday 13 13 2008

Spring plant sale a resounding success! Despite a dressing of snow that made plant identification difficult until our volunteer Gerlinde Park dusted the snow off with a feather duster, the spring plant sale brought in $4000 for the Forest Society on April 19th. Down coats were the wardrobe of choice for volunteers, but merriment was the order of the day and many choice plants were sold at great prices to happy gardeners. Now more than 1000 plants remain and they will be readied for the next sale on May 17 when we will be a part of Mayday celebrations market day. More plant donations are welcome. They can be dropped off at Grace's house at the corner of 3rd and Derwent in Cumberland, or if you would like them picked up or even dug out of the ground, call Grace at 336-8921. Many many thanks to Grace and Ron and all the volunteers who came out on April 19th.
