ACRE’s land trust focus on conserving the biological values of land in Chelsea and around Gatineau Park and to protect those lands for future generations.

Land Acquisition

As a land trust ACRE can receive donations of land and can permanently care for these lands.

If sufficient funds are available ACRE can also purchase lands in order to preserve them and care for them in perpetuity.

Financial Incentives

Financial incentives are available to any private landowner who donates land or an interest in land to a land trust.

Land that is determined to be ‘ecologically sensitive’ by Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Government of Quebec will qualify for significant tax incentives:

• no taxable capital gains

• a ten year carry-forward period of any unused portion of the donation receipt.

Landowners can also continue to use and enjoy their land even after a donation has been completed.
