The NCC has identified, among all the private properties available in Gatineau Park, those that are a top priority for the mandate of the park to conserve environmental integrity. They work as the properties become available on the market. They have approached some landowners to indicate their interest in their property. In some cases, they have reached an agreement and in other cases the owner preferred to keep the land.
