Nisbet Provincial Forest

Nisbet Provincial Forest is a provincially protected mixed-wood forest in north-central Saskatchewan within the Aspen parkland, divided into northern and southern blocks near Prince Albert, Duck Lake, MacDowall, and Lily Plain. In the late 19th century, especially from the 1860s to 1880s, it attracted Métis and white settlers by providing important local supplies of building materials and fuel, tying it closely to early settlement in the Prince Albert area. Named for James Nisbet, the Presbyterian clergyman who established a mission at Prince Albert, the forest remains both protected and actively used for grazing and recreation, while the Louis Riel Trail passes through its south block.
