Cortes Children's Forest Trust

The Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island Society has been formed to purchase Island Timberland forest land holdings immediately adjacent to Carrington Bay Park on Cortes Island. These forest lands will be held in trust for all the children of Cortes Island, in perpetuity. They will offer educational, recreational, cultural and spiritual value for all our children. They will provide the opportunity for youth to embrace and practise stewardship of forest lands and watersheds. On behalf of children and the general public, the Trust will work with community, government, and industry to: - Acquire the ‘ Children’s Forest’ - Protect, steward, and provide access to the ‘Children’s Forest’ - Develop and deliver nature-based educational programs - Conduct long-term, scientific research
