Forest in the Village is all about supporting biodiversity, climate resilience, and the goals set out in Cumberland’s Urban Forest Management Plan. You can buy a tree, donate to have a tree planted on public land or commit to purchasing and planting a tree of your choice.
Over the years, Cumberland’s urban canopy has been shrinking. Many trees planted by early settlers are reaching the end of their lifespan, while ongoing development have thinned out our forested spaces. Yet, healthy urban forests do vital work—improving soil and air quality, reducing summer temperatures, retaining water, supporting biodiversity, enriching community culture, and strengthening our resilience against climate change.
Our goal, a reflection of the UFMP, is to help increase canopy cover in Cumberland’s urban areas from 20% to 30% by 2040.
Join us in 2026 as we continue this legacy project of stewardship and climate resilience – by and for our community.
Trees are available first come, first order so don’t delay in signing up. Thanks to First Credit Union, FireSmartBC and the Village of Cumberland for your support for this program!
