List of Saskatchewan provincial forests
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Saskatchewan, Provincial Forests are designated as such by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, as per The Forest Resources Management Act.[1]
In 1930, the Saskatchewan Natural Resources Act gave the province control over forest resources within its boundaries. Before 1930, forests in Saskatchewan were under federal control, and many of the Provincial Forests listed below were classified as National Forests under the Dominion Forest Reserves Act.
The official list of Saskatchewan Provincial Forests can be found in The Forest Resources Management Regulations:[2]
Northern provincial forest
From a legal perspective, all of the contiguous forestland in Northern Saskatchewan is one forest. In other contexts, several distinct forests are identified.[3]
