Cumberland Community Forest Society: Forest in the Village Project
Posted on
The Forest in the Village (FITV) is a Cumberland Community Forest Society (CCFS) led community activation pilot project to A) build community understanding in the value of the urban forest canopy for biodiversity and climate resilience, to B) support the Village of Cumberland in achieving targets set out in the Village of Cumberland’s Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) and to C) engage the community directly in actions that enhance the urban forest within the Village.
Our goal, a reflection of the UFMP, is to increase canopy cover in urban areas from 20% to 30% by 2040. We aim to kick start this project in 2023 by planting 125 trees in the Village to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Cumberland’s incorporation – a legacy project of stewardship and climate resilience by and for our community. 50% of tree costs will be subsidized by FITV project funding.
