About Cumberland Community Forest Society
The Cumberland Community Forest Society is a charitable non profit dedicated to the purchase and protection of forest lands surrounding the Village of Cumberland on Vancouver Island. This forest is an important habitat corridor and filled with trails, mature trees, streams, riparian areas and heritage landmarks. The CCFS is a grassroots community organization that believes that this forest is worth more to the community standing than as timber. They have purchased over 500 acres to date from timber companies. These areas are now dedicated as a municipal nature park.
