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.

We are excited to announce that a framed photo of the grand opening of the Cumberland Community Forest has been on display for most of the summer at Tarbell's Cafe here in Cumberland. (The Cafe is under new ownership and the food is fabulous.) The eventual home of the photo is Cumberland Council Chambers, but everyone is welcome to have a look at it, perhaps find themselves in it if they were present that day, and reminisce about how far the Cumberland Community Forest Society has evolved and how significant our achievements have been. So many smiling faces are visible in the photo and we make a colorful group. Click on the thumbnail below to see the big picture.
