In Saskatchewan, Provincial Forests are designated as such by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, as per The Forest Resources Management Act.
The official list of Saskatchewan Provincial Forests can be found in The Forest Resources Management Regulations:[2] From a legal perspective, all of the contiguous forestland in Northern Saskatchewan is one forest.
The Forest Resources Management Act and Regulations are written so that the Parks Act is applicable whenever land area is defined in both laws.
Duck Mountain Provincial Forest is also protected in Saskatchewan by the Parks Act, and the Manitoba portion is classified as a provincial forest in that province.
Bronson Forest, located between Paradise Hill and Pierceland, is not protected under the Forest Resources Management Act or the Parks Act, but the Protection of the Wild Ponies of the Bronson Forest Act prohibits any activities in the Bronson Forest that could negatively impact the wild horses.
