Forêt Capitale Forest

Forêt Capitale Forest is a local non-profit organization whose mission aims to mitigate the effects of climate change by facilitating the planting of forests and raising awareness of the importance of trees and biodiversity. FCF is guided by an afforestation model that focuses on tree planting with an emphasis on maintaining and caring for trees after they’ve been planted. Providing care to the trees until they reach maturity ensures a higher survival rate. As a growing environmental charity, FCF collaborates with the community to build grassroots stewardship initiatives to care and maintain new urban forests until they reach maturity. In meeting their goal, FCF strives to enable communities to become urban forest stewards through private and public landowner collaboration. The organization assists community groups who may not have the resources to create tree planting events or manage the trees until they are “free to grow”.
