The Greenbelt is transitioning between seasons. Please respect closures and turn back if the trails are muddy or if snow is on the ground.
The National Capital Greenbelt is the most ecologically diverse area in Eastern Ontario. It comprises 20,000 hectares of green space, including farms, forests and wetlands. It was created in the 1950s to protect the rural land bordering the Capital from urban sprawl. It has since become the largest publicly owned greenbelt in the world. Most of the Greenbelt (14,950 hectares) is owned by the NCC.
The Greenbelt protects natural areas like forests, wetlands, streams and sand dunes that sustain biodiversity. The natural areas in the Greenbelt support human and ecological health in the National Capital Region.
