Cranbrook Timber Supply Area

The Cranbrook timber supply area (TSA) covers about 1.2 million hectares in British Columbia’s southeastern corner and includes the communities of Cranbrook, Kimberley, Sparwood, Fernie and Elkford. The TSA is administered by the Rocky Mountain Natural Resource District office.

The Cranbrook TSA’s current allowable annual cut (AAC) is 808,000 cubic metres. Generally, a new AAC is set at least once every 10 years. When a community forest agreement is reached, the AAC is adjusted for any land removed from the TSA. Read more: Allowable Annual Cut Administration Regulation, Section 11.
