Manitoba's Crown Timber Pricing
Crown timber harvested in Manitoba is measured in cubic metres (m³). For each cubic metre of timber harvested, specific dues and charges must be paid. Commercial users must pay three specific charges as per The Forest Act:
- Crown Timber Dues
- Forest Renewal Charge (FRC)
- Fire Protection Charge (FPC) - The Fire Protection Charge ($0.17/m³) is collected to offset the firefighting/prevention costs the province undertakes to protect forest resources.
