The work of making forest reserves is still progressing, 

 and will need to progress in Canada for many years. This year 

 the region around the Waterton Lakes in southwestern Alberta 

 was examined for this purpose. The forester who examined it

 Spruce Woods Reserve in Manitoba, 238^ square miles to the 

 Pines Reserve in Saskatchewan, 45 square miles to the Beaver 

 Hills Reserve in Saskatchewan and 192 square miles to the 

 Cypress Hills Reserve in Alberta.

 that is uiisuited to agriculture or grazing, and in making these 

 examinations the foresters have kept this policy in mind. 



GRAZING ON FOREST RESERVES. 



It is not the policy of the Department, however, to exclude 

 from the reserves all land suitable for grazing. In fact, they

 tions made this year be sustained, such areas will be added 

 to the Cypress Hills and Beaver Hills. These areas are among 

 timber, and so we include them, rather than to exclude the 

 timber. Nor is it the policy of the Department to prevent 

 grazing on these areas. For several reasons it is desirable that 

 they should be grazed. The forest reserves are for the use of
