Green Timbers Heritage Society

The Green Timbers Heritage Society formed in 1987 to prevent having the forest turned into a football stadium. In 1988 and 1996, through referendums in the community we stopped commercial development of areas within Green Timbers. Since then we've worked closely with the City of Surrey to preserve, re-habilitate and enhance the Green Timbers Urban Forest, Park and surrounding areas for everyone. Over the years the Society has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for work in the forest. Trails, originally built by volunteers, now are maintained to high standards by the City in collaboration with the Surrey’s Natural Areas Partnership (SNAP) program, which include three environmental groups plus the City.

We are a registered charity and non-profit organization that advocates for the preservation and enhancement of the Green Timbers Urban Forest, Park, and the original Green Timbers Square Mile for future generations. We are always looking for members who care about this green patch of forest and lake in the northeast corner of one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities. The Society is wholly volunteer-run. Join us and be part of a green solution in an urban environment!
