The CCFS is a charitable non profit based in the Village of Cumberland that has been purchasing and protecting privately owned forest forest lands scheduled for logging for the past 20 years. We're also very engaged in local watersheds protection initiatives and facilitate stewardship initiatives including the Western Toad Program, Invasives Removal, Perseverance Streamkeepers, Cumberland Bat Project, Climate Action Theatre and citizen science projects throughout the year.
