The National Capital Commission (NCC) protects and conserves more than 55,000 hectares of federal land in the National Capital Region. Much of the land we care is green space. A study estimates the total economic value of our green spaces at $5 billion over 20 years. The NCC’s green spaces provide direct monetary benefits, such as from wood and agricultural products, as well as benefits not measured according to traditional market metrics.
