The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) has a rich history in helping conserve unique landscapes for future generations in Newfoundland and Labrador. NCC’s first land securement in the province was in 1996, with the King George IV Ecological Reserve, a 4,693-acre (1,899-hectare) project to see timber and mineral rights relinquished. To date, NCC has protected more than 12,200 acres (4,937 hectares) across the province and is identifying key coastal areas to protect in the Avalon Peninsula. We are also leading the development of a conservation blueprint for Labrador.
