V. — Forest Surveys 



Under the Provincial Forests Act passed during 1929, eight areas within 

 the forest area of the province are set aside as provincial forests. These include 

 the five original forest reserves: Eastern, Timagami, Mississagi, Nipigon and 

 Sibley, and three newly created forests, the Kawartha, Georgian Bay and 

 Wanapitei. 



Prior to the act forest surveys had already been conducted covering the 

 Mississagi, Nipigon, Kawartha and parts of the Eastern and Timagami Provin-

 forest into types and age classes and a timber estimate.

 conditions in the Wanapitei Provincial Forest and in the southeasterly portion
