The National Capital Commission (NCC) has a long tradition of conserving and protecting natural environments in Gatineau Park. For more than 40 years, thousands of studies have been conducted by the Park’s professionals, as well as by researchers from scientific and academic institutions. The Park’s current conservation work is structured by many scientific studies and a number of planning and monitoring documents, including the following:
- The Corporate Natural Resource Research Program of Gatineau Park;
- The Gatineau Park Master Plan;
- The Gatineau Park Species at Risk Protection Plan;
- The Gatineau Park Biodiversity Monitoring Program;
- Valued Ecosystems and Habitats in Gatineau Park;
- Five management plans and two management strategies;
- Digital GIS (geographic information system) databases;
- Ecological review and;
- regular follow-up reports on various species and habitats.
The Gatineau Park Ecosystem Conservation Plan was developed as a result of recommendations made in the Gatineau Park Master Plan. Four other management documents will follow, which will also form part of the master plan implementation process, and will structure the programs, projects and other detailed proposals. The Park’s management vision for the coming decades focuses on the conservation of natural and cultural environments. Gatineau Park will therefore be a natural protected area managed with a view primarily to conservation, and secondarily for recreational purposes.
