Provincial forests are located within the Province of Manitoba, in Canada, as large areas of unpopulated and undeveloped forests. Under the Forests Act, provincial forests were developed primarily as a source of sustainable timber supply for forestry operations. Today there are 15 designated provincial forests in Manitoba, totaling almost 22,000 km². Provincial forests are managed for diverse economic, environmental, social and cultural uses. They are very popular places for berry picking, mushroom picking, hunting, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, and exploring.
