This enchanting place with the total area of 40,5 ha is home to an ancient forest, featuring a century-old cedar grove, wet meadows, small streams, and a picturesque former quarry, which was used to extract diopside. Located within the Northeast Ecological Corridor of Gatineau Park, the Hundred Acre Forest supports rich biodiversity. A 2022 inventory recorded 16 mammal species, 53 bird species, 8 species of amphibians and reptiles, and 32 invertebrate species. Once shaped by forestry, mining, and agriculture, the land has been owned by ACRE, a registered land trust, since 2022 and is now permanently protected as a natural voluntary conservation environment. A stewardship committee made up of engaged and knowledgeable local residents plays an active role in managing the forest alongside ACRE in accordance with the forest management plan.
