The United Church Earth Stewards (UCES) consists of a group of members from the five Churches of the Central Fraser Valley: Trinity Memorial, Gladwin Heights and Mt. Lehman in Abbotsford, Aldergrove United in Aldergrove and St. Andrew’s United in Mission. The group raises funds for the planting of trees, which we do in conjunction with the City of Abbotsford. We also promote advocacy in several areas: including light rail, protection of salmon habitat, reporting on local environmental pollution and a number of other issues. We support others in their climate advocacy. Over the past 6 years, we have planted close to 2,000 trees. The mission of this passionate group is to fulfill the statement in the New Creed: “to live with respect in creation”.
