Timber Supply Review and Allowable Annual Cut

Last updated on January 27, 2026

Timber supply is the amount of timber that is projected to be available for harvesting over a specified time and under a particular management regime.

It's a combination of:

  • The condition of the existing forest
  • The growth rate of the existing and harvested forest
  • How the forest is managed for timber and other resource values
  • Choices around the rate of harvest
