Gatineau WatershedDue to the more moderate climate, the urban and agricultural professions are concentrated essentially in the southern portion and consequently occupy only a negligible part of the territory. The protected agricultural zone, today covers 92,300 hectares inside the catchment area, that is to say 4 % of this territory. Nearly 95 % of the farm land is used for forage production. The majority of the farming operations are cow-calf beef farms, with only a very few dairy, sheep and vegetable farms making up the remainder.
